Journeying With Herbs

March is Life

We will soon be celebrating Ostara. The return of Spring. The winter has broken, shoots
are springing through the ground. The Robins have returned. It’s warm and the
sunshine’s more. Happy Days! But wait, It’s March remember. Are you very sure Spring
is here? We may have a week of beautiful warm, sunny weather and then wake up the
next morning to a foot of snow and freezing weather. What happened, where is the
warm, sunny weather?? It will return. But this is March! Hold on, each day can be
different, expect the unexpected! Yes, it can be frustrating. Think about it. Not only is
that March, that’s life! We can believe that we have conquered a situation, a habit, a
problem or our emotions, we’re sailing along in beautiful sunny, warm weather and then,
WHAM!! The skies are dark, the wind picks up, it begins to sleet, and we are stuck in
miserable weather. Such is life! One day it will be bright, the next raining and cold.
March is the perfect example for our life. Volatile! You will not have perpetual sunshine
in your life. You will know darkness, you will know pain but, you will also know light, you
will also know joy! Expect them both, embrace them both! Don’t be surprised when
either darkness or light embraces you. Always remember, Life is March!
