In the Celtic tradition, February 1st marks the celebration of Imbolc, the first stirrings of Spring!

The Tender Touch of Rising Light

The tender touch of rising light

stirs us from the dream of winter.

It is the impulse to wake,

the impulse to rise and sing

from the highest branch of our hearts,

to sing of all that we are

and all that we can be.

Let us welcome this first stirring

and how it makes us feel

more alive

and joyful to be alive,

aligned

with the rhythms

all round us.

Let us welcome it

like the snowdrops welcome it,

the first to wake,

the first to rise and sing

from the highest branch of our hearts,

to sing of all that we are

and all that we can be.
