Winter has ended... Hello Spring!
I prefer small wild flowers over lush garden ones... there's something in their endurance that inspire me.

OSTARA is named after a Germanic Goddess of Spring and fertility The name means "to shine". In the Equinox the length of the Day and Night is the same, the forces of Light and Darkness in balance, and now on days will be longer and brighter until next Solstice.
The Waking of Spring
I already shared my song THE WAKING OF SPRING exactly one year ago, and that reminds me the whole year cycle here in this platform, feels longer!! :) So also as soundtrack to this special seasonal blog post here is my song again in case you want to listen to it as you continue reading!. So here we are again, longing to bloom, aren't we?
