Gaia

The wind breezed cold and the sky was heavy with the promise of rain. A white tent was set up to protect the harps and the air of festivity grew as each harpist arrived. A concert outdoors with green grass, apple blossoms and a breath taking view of a deep blue lake to celebrate and honour a spiritual connection.

The spiritual connection for each individual as varied and entwined as a bracelet of precious gems. Amethyst, quartz, pearls and black lace garnet, gather energy and reflect the diverse intrinsic and introspective nature of a growing spirituality.

A call for rays of sunshine to bless the gathering and indeed as all is ready and the harp performance begins, a lightening of the sky and the first warm rays of sun appear. Green leaves and blossoms efferves the energy of spring.

For me it is a chance to recognize my personal privilege and to thank the Goddess Gaia, Goddess of the Earth, for all the blessings she bestows upon us each day.
