The Irish May Tree Celebration Meditation

The seeds below ground are sprouting through fertile soul; up, out and toward the sunlight.</p> <p> </p> <p>In Ireland, on May 1st, Villages, Townlands and communities offer up a seasonal rite of passage by decorating Hawthorne trees, as well as the front gates of homes.</p> <p> </p> <p>Our many months inside the dark inner caves of winter begin to fall away.</p> <p> </p> <p>This meditation is a creative variation of the Irish celebration.</p>
