Blossoms, Balance, and the Return of Spring
“Flowers are consciousness celebrating.” — Eckhart Tolle
A year ago or so, I decided to tend a little corner of our garden — a patch of earth that was neither beautiful nor beloved. It gets plenty of sun, but it was a “dead spot,” the path we take to hang the laundry and fetch it again. Not a place to linger, just one to pass through.
Each time I carried the washing, though, I felt it quietly calling. So I began laying down compost, shaping small beds, and waiting to see what wanted to grow there. Slowly, the ground began to answer.
Now, after the winter rains, that forgotten patch is abundant — granadillas climbing, mint spreading its fragrance, strawberries rooting, and flowers opening with joy. A once-neglected place has become a celebration.
Yesterday was the Spring Equinox here in the South. As the earth tips back into balance, the sun grows warmer, the birds begin their morning songs, and the blossoms announce the season’s return.
It was also a special day in my family: my eldest daughter, my Spring Equinox baby, turned 21. Though she is far away in the North, I reminded her that her birthday always brings sunshine, berries, and flowers. A blessing woven into the rhythm of the season.
May this Spring invite you too into renewal — tending forgotten corners, noticing what is ready to bloom, and remembering that balance always returns.
A reminder for our True Midwifery Study Spiral with Vera Dubrovina this week
Supporting IVF pregnancy and birth
25 September 2025 @ 11am – 2pm SAST
IVF pregnancy, especially after years of fertility struggles, carries profound layers — blending medical science with ancestral, energetic, and spiritual dimensions. Birth following assisted conception is not only a physical event but also a spiritual alignment, weaving past and future together.
In this Study Spiral, Vera will share her observations on why assisted birth and C-sections are so common after IVF, what this reveals, and how to hold these journeys with depth, reverence, and care.
