I love this. I feel like when that reaction happens because of watching the news or social media, that is definitely when you need to step back and ground. Being in a state of reactivity is when we forget WE ARE sovereign beings.

I now "see" better at why your writing rings such a bell in me. Thank you Alix for all the shares. I really enjoyed reading it through. And boy knows how hard it is to keep focus nowadays. I really love that you wrote about Imbolc so naturally. I will try to write a poem. It feels lighter I found since yesterday. Energy shifting for real. Life stirring and coming back to surface. Awakening to the new sunlight tickling her skin. *-*

I always look for signs, especially in the clouds, still making sure to turn my gaze to the ground. Enjoying everyone’s responses, gives me hope to see all of this positive energy ✨💜✨ I was able to visit Ireland last fall. Loved seeing the low clouds above the pastures. It felt like the cosmos was so much closer. No wonder faeries are drawn to this magical place.

Thank you for this uplifting piece. We went for a walk and saw a mocking bird. I’ll be stirring up some colcannon and lighting candles.
