The
Awakening
By
Toni Truesdale
The
Equinox of spring signifies the return of life
from
the dormancy of winter.
Everything
stirs, sprouts, unfolds..
We
smell the awakening
Welcome the continuance of earth’s eternal cycle.
Persephone
is the Greek metaphor of spring.
“Cycles
and Seasons”By Toni
Truesdale The
recurrence of the seasons continue to encircle our lives,Just as
it gave celebrations to our ancestors.Spring
Equinox, Summer Solstice,Fall
Equinox, and Winter SolsticeMark
those passages in a yearly cycle all over the world.We have
learned to plant food and medicinesAccording
to the agricultural calendar.We dance
in a circle to celebrate the planting,Harvesting,
and the storing of food.Buildings,
monuments, and spiritual spaces have been builtTo align
with the celestial movements that determineThe four
seasons at the point of each transition.
