I've already remarked in this blog that the period between the winter solstice and the spring equinox is called the Cleansing Tide - hence the flurry of spring cleaning that goes on around the start of the year.
Now we are just about to move again into the Growing tide, which traditionally is a time when plants start to grow and the whole of nature gets moving again. But it's not only plants that respond to this tide, and I've always found it's a good time of year for taking on new projects.
This could - possibly - be one of the reasons that there's been a bit of blog burning going on here in Blogland recently. It's a response to the underlying tide of the year. In effect over the past few months we've been clearing out clutter in readiness to take on new challenges.
The important thing is not to fear the challenges but to relish them. Sometimes, I admit, it's easier said than done. But even so, we can't hide behind the sofa all the time. Life is there to be lived, and if, like me, you accept the idea of reincarnation, then what doesn't get done in this life will only pile up in the next!
