Even as frost and snow lays like a blanket upon the earth, I can hear Her call. A hum, low and quiet. It calls to the blossom, slowly unfurling. It beckons the sunlight that streams through the feather of the swan, the purest white as it glides across the water. It gives strength to that small, rich green bud, fearlessly pushing through the frozen earth. The hum, so faint it’s just above a whisper.
Some days, it’s a sound drowned out by the howling storms. Some days, I can barely hear it above the endless rain. Sheets of ice that show no mercy and are forged by the strength of shapeshifting water. Cocooned inside a nest of blankets, Her call is as distant as the sun, some days. The days blend on, the nights a haze behind drawn curtains and dreams of colour plucked from the muse of some distant future.
Yes, her call is distant, some days.
Yet, with child-like joy, she comes and takes my hand. She leads me to the threshold; where birds sing for the strengthening sun and where skies are painted in the prettiest pinks and the most vivid reds. She paints the sky in hues and shades as she hums her eternal song. An artist – the sky her canvas. Hues of blue, of pink, peach and red. Shades of blue so dark it’s midnight. Her cloak trails behind her, revealing snowdrops and bulbs bursting with life. She hums her song- her song of life- calling the sap to rise once more.
Her enthusiasm is infectious – it catches on everything she touches. Fearless wanderer, beckoning with song and dance, inspiring the dawn and enchanting the night. Will you walk with her?
She stokes the fires of inspiration, her muse wandering far and wide. An eye for beauty both simple and complex- will you be inspired by her?
She heals what she touches, and she touches everything. Across her lands, new growth is green and ready to nourish. Will you be healed by her?
I can hear it now, it’s getting louder. Morning, noon and night. The hum has a beat that sets the pace and makes you move. Her song, it’s all around you. Her call, that hum within the earth- do you hear it? As it calls for you to walk her lands with Her as she brings the quickening- do you hear it yet?
