The Spring Equinox is celebrated in almost every culture as a sign of emergence from winter. The ground may still be cold or even covered in snow and there may be still be periods of cold to come, but the days are set to get longer and emerging flowers remind us that renewal is always possible. In the garden, we see daffodils begin to flower, a bright flash of colour against an otherwise drab winter palette. Other perennials may be starting to emerge. In our lives, winter can take many forms - financial loss, death, breaking up with a loved one, addiction, illness, changing difficult habits.
The season of spring shows that no matter how difficult the winter of our lives may be, there is a time to flower again. Spring calls to us, and with the yellow daffodils standing bright, reminds us that when we emerge, our rebirth will be beautiful.
