February

Imbolc ~Catherine Beerda-Basso

Springs Beginnings
Winters Thaw
and perhaps
in this place
Love will be invited in
Love will be allowed to
To Rise
with the light

Love shown in troubled times
is the most precious of all
It is easy to love when there is no
tragedy
hurt
strife
grief
challenge

Bone Love happens when it is hard
Love built with sturdy ‘strong bones’
flourishes
Loving
when it hurts
creates fortitude
it takes great courage to stand in this kind of Love

May we all such courage
May the marrow of our bones hold us
May the blood in our veins keep us
May the earth beneath our feet and all that lives there guide us with Compassion
May the sky above and all that resides there watch over us in Grace
May we have courage
May we have courage
May we have courage

Courage with Wings
