Welcome Spring 2012!

Every once in awhile a night happens along that just is oh-so-amazing. Last night was just one of those nights. First off, it was Taco Tuesday. Kelly, Cooper and Nan all joined us in our weekly ritual. Danielle slipped off to my room to receive a much needed massage from Nan.

Kelly and I went out to the fire pit and started up a fire (well . . . actually Jeff started the fire). We brought out some really cool stuff and burned our smudge stick and cleansed some stuff (obviously I'm not going to get to specific here). We had candles and stones and all kinds of really cool things to help us welcome in spring.

When Danielle's massage was finished, Nan came out and said good-bye and Danielle joined Kelly and I. We were dancing on the grass. The night was so awesome. No wind. No rain. No cold. Just stars and wonderfulness. We laughed and enjoyed all of it. Then, 10 minutes before the equinox (10:10) we all went into meditation and quiet.

Then . . . it was spring! We put rosemary on the fire (because rosemary is an herb of power), then all put our intentions in the fire and stood around and held hands while we said words of encouragement and gratitude. It was a pretty awesome experience.

I know it doesn't sound that awesome from my words but some things just have to be experienced to be truly appreciated. This was one of those times.
