May is the grounded energy of spring. The uncertainty of new life in March and the excitement of it in April have both passed. Now that new life is as sure and as abundant as the billions of cherry & plum tree blossoms that rain down from their branches. But this new life is also more subtle, like bleeding hearts that emerge slowly but surely from shady garden corners. Unlike the boldness of tulips & daffodils – those first risers of spring – May is less dramatic but full of earthly grounded wisdom and patience.

May says, “You have worked hard to rise. Remember the earth from which you came, and stay connected to her wisdom and all she holds that nurtures you. Take time to reflect on the new life you risked and the courage it took to rise. And remember, you are still new – sit and watch and learn, breathe air into your lungs, grow your wings… Many horizons await. Even now, it is a miracle to be here.”
