Imbolc – Brighid’s Day
I love the energy of Brighid’s Day.
The balance between past and future,
That holy place that requires nothing-
But takes from the past what it needs
To form the future it wills into being.
I think how my own past
Shapes my present and lays ground for my future;
I step onto Sacred Ground at Imbolc,
As I release my vision of shores grown familiar
And sail toward a future I can’t yet see …
Balance. Compassion. Creativity.
Integrity. Faith. Manifestation.
I honor the energy of Brighid today
And giving, I feel blessed by her smile.
Nice poem, Didi! Thanks.
I clean forgot it was Là Fhèill Brìghde the day!

Thank you both for commenting! May the coming spring bring you each renewal, growth and joy!
I have a candle on my altar that was lit from the previous candle that was lit…going back to a full moon ceremony years ago where someone had a candle lit from a candle lit from…Brighid’s flame.
That is so cool, Ellie!
