Imbolc – what are you dreaming into being at the end of winter?
This is the time when we experience rapid change as the days grow longer and things are beginning to grow again.
And yet, it is not Spring. We are still in winter, where most of the work is continuing underground and unseen within plants and animals.This is a time of things growing and maturing within, of the gestation of things to emerge in spring. There should be no rushing, despite what our unstable climate may convince us of with its early daffodils or flowers that bloomed all winter. There are long days of cold and damp ahead and with that the chance for us to ease slowly from our wintery states, to recognise what is shifting within and to dream of what might be to come.
