Ostara/Spring Equinox
We celebrate the renewal of life as seen by the newly emerging life in many forms all around us. A resurrection from all that looks dead is seen as the Earth regenerates and renews itself. This is symbolized in resurrection myths in many cultures and traditions. There are many myths about the “Year Gods” ( Attis, Adonis, Osiris, and Dionysus) – who, like Christ, die and are reborn. He is symbolic of the vegetation, dying each year (at harvest) to be reborn in the spring.
Happy Valentine’s Day
Though we may be physically apart, spiritually, we are always united, for love transcends space and time. Nothing is missing.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day
I am convinced that love is the most durable power in the world. It is not an expression of impractical idealism, but of practical realism. Far from being the pious injunction of a Utopian dreamer, love is an absolute necessity for the survival of our civilization. To return hate for hate does nothing but intensify the existence of evil in the universe. Someone must have sense enough and morality enough to cut off the chain of hate and evil, and this can only be done through love. -Martin Luther King Jr.
