It was pure pleasure to celebrate the Spring Equinox today with the Stone Circle Interfaith Community. Level Two protocols made it a little more difficult but the facilitators took every care to ensure we were all comfortable with the arrangements.
Each person introduced themself and spoke about what spring means to them. I was glad to have the opportunity to mention the fact that today is Suffrage Day.
Many beautiful and inspiring words were said. I just wish I could remember more of them. At one stage we gave “eye hugs”, good practice for when masks need to be worn, and were invited to remember that whenever we look into someone’s eyes we are looking at a person who is loved by the divine spirit.
The many challenges that are being faced around the world were acknowledged and we were led in a meditation to send loving-kindness out across the globe and the universe.
Song, dance, and story were part of this ritual which was spiritually strengthening and sustaining.
We spoke of spring with care and love
which honoured earth and worlds above
Thank you Ruth for inviting me to this ritual. It was a beautiful gift to experience the warmth, love and insightful challenges present. The organisers did a fantastic job of ensuring that everyone was welcomed and could participate at a level they felt comfortable with.
