Consider the Lillies

When asked recently why Easter is my third favorite holiday and Christmas my fourth, I replied, “It’s the vernal freshness, the physical exemplification of renewal.”

We say the sun is reborn on the solstice, slowly stretching a few extra rays of light in the darkest of nights until we behold: blossoms.

I started to notice petite purple flowers beginning to bloom as I walked my new deaf puppy Trixie in February. After the Pisces new moon on March 10th, the white flowers were apparent and the yellow too, as if they’d been there all along just waiting for me to notice.

Time, Surrender & the Divine

I’ve had more than a few experiences of time - in fact, it seems like I’ve had infinite experiences with time - many times on a daily basis.

I recently heard that our relationship with time is related to our relationship with the Divine - yes, that Divine. This also makes sense because Saturn, the Lord of Time, is the final planet we encounter on our journey back home to Pleroma, or what some might call Source. I prefer to say God.

I’ve also heard that our relationship with time is related to our relationship with prosperity and abundance - feeling like we don’t have enough time. Is it just a matter of prioritization?
