Here is my new song and video "Longing to Bloom" to welcome Spring (I know you're welcoming Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere) but the song transcends the seasons to be a metaphor of renewal and growth. It's time to "leave our dim thoughts and fears behind and thrive against all odds", Spring has awakened with a promise.
pd. as always hidden ratties :) two in this video :) Considering the date, better to say there are "two hidden Easter Eggs in the video" LOL
Spring Equinnox and Ostara celebration
Some weeks ago I shared my song Cold Winter, and explained cold is needed to make seeds grow but now it's time to unfold into the light. But the landscape has transformed drastically in the matter of one month... this is a time of changes.
I'm doing an entire collection of compositions all through "The Wheel of the year". The night from 20 to 21th of March is Ostara (Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere) and thus the blooming season officially beings.
You can find many of my seasonal songs all together in this youtube playlist
We need to align ourselves with our purpose, prepare to grow and embrace the light.
This is something I always say (probably one day part of one song)
As seasons flow
there is always a time to bloom
there is always a time to grow
Longing to Bloom (A motivational, inspirational poem)
I felt so alone
left in the cold
in utter silence
Waited for so long
my time to grow
out from this darkness
Longing to bloom
Unfolding into the sun
Gilded by light
I'm fire
Longing to bloom
And do what needs to be done
to unleash my heart's desire
Felt my chance was close
Found what I lost
My worth, my power
And once I learned to unlock
that inner voice
It became louder
Longing to bloom
Unfolding into the sun
Gilded by light
I'm fire
Longing to bloom
and leave all dim thoughts behind
I'm meant to reach muchhigher
Longing to bloom
Longing to bloom
Longing to bloom
I'm fire
Note for Spanish readers: Nota para los que hablan en español, en el video también tenéis la opción de poner los subtítulos en español ya que creo que el significado de la canción en este caso es lo más importante.
Ostara is a Pagan celebration of the the Spring Equinnox in the Northern Hemisphere. It is named after a Germanic Goddess of Spring and fertility The name means “to shine”. In the Equinox the length of the Day and Night is the same, the forces of Light and Darkness in balance, and now on days will be longer and brighter until next Solstice. A promise of life… as birds unfold their wings
Longing to bloom... unfolding into the sun...
I woke to a wintry day and all was covered in snow but frail pale white and pink blossoms are facing the cold weather and buds are unfolding. Aren't we longing to bloom?
It is time to trigger the changes that will allow to move forward, bloom and grow.
Days are longer, life stirs, and the air is full of the fragrance of emerging flowers.
Though the dormant Goddess of Spring is supposed to start to stir at Imbolc it is today when the season is considered to begin. It is also the date of the Druidry Festival Alban Eilir (The Light of the Earth). A time for growth and balance… the return to life until it reaches its full boom and peak on forthcoming Beltane (May Day Festival) where everything will be in full bloom. Splatters of colours, tender grass and animals coming out from their lairs. Soon the canopy of the forest will be lush and will rustle with its “new leaves” voice.
The symbolic plant of the Equinox is the trefoil and that’s why the celebration of Saint Patrick a few days ago is also related to the welcoming of the new season. Read my previous post about Saint Patrick and my obsession for “green”
So ready to bloom?
It doesn't matter if you are entering Spring (or Autumn) because the message of the song transcends the seasonal metaphor

And with that wishing you all a lovely Sunday and forthcoming week... I'm about to step out and walk to smell the new smells of the flowers, the green grass, the slight breeze... A walk to ground myself in the moment and be grateful for what I have, not bitter for what I lack
Blessings, Pris! MAY YOU BLOOM!
