Greetings on this unique, once in a lifetime, day in creation!
What is rising up for you this spring? In my garden the Garlic is about 4 inches tall, some seeds are sprouting and the spring weeds have returned, though less than last year. This shows me the work I’m doing in the garden is “working” and I can be reassured that my inner work of weeding and pruning on a mental level is reflective of this as well. I can tell this because so far I have had less emotional flair so far this spring. I can’t say the same for my children… but I do my best to be at peace with their rising spring energy.
Take note if you do feel extra emotional or irritable this spring. Is it the same as other years or can you notice a shift? If you are having big feelings and you have time and space, I advise you to make sure you are safe and allow yourself to feel the feelings. If it is recurrent and concerning, you can always come for an acupuncture treatment. Schedule online here.

and this is the music video I tried to play midway that didn’t quite work https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq9CQKNplpw . I tried to edit out the blooper but the technology was unclear so i decided to be flexible and leave in the imperfection. This allowed me less time infront of my screen. And i invite you to do the same whenever possible on these glorious spring days.
As I enter the Passover holiday, I know we are reminded to see ourselves as if we went out of Egypt. The Hebrew word for Egypt has the same root as the word “narrow”. This movement out of Egypt is like a birth, coming through a narrow place, and like springtime, emerging aboveground. The change is dramatic annd not easy so I wish us all peace amidst the drama. May we see things newly this season and follow our paths with creativity and flexibility.
