\"\"Iris, Blooming <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 in <\/strong> the Morning Light,<\/strong><\/p>\n

You absorb the nutrients<\/p>\n

of Earth Mother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bounty<\/p>\n

and push your way from the womb darkness<\/p>\n

to the warmth of the light.<\/p>\n

Between the green you unfold in amethyst beauty,<\/p>\n

You play and dance in *Ruah breeze,<\/p>\n

your unfolding petals sway in praise.<\/p>\n

Flower within us, Sacred Song Sister,<\/p>\n

\"\"that, opening to spring life,<\/p>\n

we leave dormancy and death behind.<\/p>\n

\"\"Plant us into the gardens<\/p>\n

of new creations.<\/p>\n

Blessed be! Blessed she!<\/p>\n

-Poem\/Prayer by Rev. Stacy Boorn,\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a92014<\/em><\/p>\n

Tuesday, May 1, was Beltane, the Celtic Festival that marks the half way point between spring and summer. \u00c2\u00a0Beltane honors life. The earth energies are at their peak, and color and growth is blooming everywhere. \u00c2\u00a0This is the time of year to fully celebrate sexuality and sensuality, passion, vitality and joy. \u00c2\u00a0Let us bring our ideas, hopes and dreams into action and have some fun as well!<\/p>\n
