Blessed Imbolc, dear ones. In ceremony I burned the Yule greens to declare that I trust the Earth's cycles and have faith that spring will return even if, according to the groundhog, we have to wait six more weeks.

Blessed #imbolc2023 to those celebrating this day.
It's my favourite day of the year where we take a moment to observe signs of new life and the stirrings beneath us. It gives me a boost of hope to take me through the year.

I wrote a poem to reflect this a few years ago. Re-reading it reminds me that from ends always come beginnings

Happy #Imbolc2023, when it starts to feel as if winter is on the way out. Probably psychological because it looks just as dreich outside my window.

But it feels warmer and that's good enough for me. And the need to start moving again after a long hibernation is more urgent.

So, in the words of the 10th Doctor: Allons-y !

This mornings Imbolc sky on Glastonbury Tor about half an hour before sunrise. The return of light. #Imbolc

Today, skies are grey in #Stuttgart, so I'm cheating a bit for my #imbolc2023 greetings with a picture I took yesterday morning on my way to work, when a bright sun really lit up this #winterjasmine
Happy Imbolc!
