It's worth it. Set the alarm early, for daybreak but it has to be on the weekend, when you can linger in quietude. Turn off every motor in the house (lava and glitter lamps are silent) and lay quietly. They're there, you just have to lower your radar settings.

The birds. They're back.

It's true, it's true: Imbolc was the beginning of Spring. The birds will renew in you what you've forgotten.

Love,
Sophie
