Spring: A Time for Rebirth
Step into a new chapter of your life with a spring in your step!
“Spring is the best life coach: It gives you all the energy you want, all the positive thoughts you wish and all the boldness you need!” ― Mehmet Murat ildan
I am so excited for spring to come! It is more than welcome and awaited! Even though here, it came with a dash of snow. But now the shining sun melted it all away.
For me, spring is a time of rebirth. I absolutely enjoy all nature’s cycles, I usually associate spring with rebirth, summer with action, autumn with reaping the fruits and rewards, and winter with introspection and intention setting.
Spring is a time to shine our light. As the timid dewdrops are coming out of the snow, so does our spirit slowly but surely blossoms and awakens to its greatest potential. It's a time to work on the visions and intentions we set during winter and in doing so, help others as well create theirs.
“Spring is the time of plans and projects.” ― Leo Tolstoy
In Romania, we welcome spring on the 1st of March with a holiday called mărțișor, it’s an old tradition where we present each other with a small token- a red and white string tied to different objects and symbols. It represents the coming of the spring as well as a symbol of good charm we usually wear until the end of the month and after that, we tie it to the end of a tree branch.
This year I got a hyacinth and a tree of life pendant as a mărțișor from my parents.
I was beyond excited because the Tree of Life is found in both religious and spiritual philosophies. The Tree of Life commonly represents the interconnectedness of everything in the universe. It symbolizes togetherness and serves as a reminder that you are never alone or isolated, but rather that you are connected to the world. It also represents the connection to one’s family and ancestors.
The Tree of Life represents growth as a tree starts out as a small, delicate sapling and grows over a long time into a giant, strong tree. The tree grows up and outwards, representing how a person grows stronger and increases their knowledge and experiences throughout their lifetime. As trees have always evoked a sense of calm and peace so it is unsurprising that the Tree of Life is also a symbol of peacefulness and relaxation.
I wrote about the meaning of the Tree of Life because, as spring is coming, it is a good time for us to remember we are all connected and that we are not alone!
Such as the tree takes its time to grow strong and tall, so do we gain more knowledge and wisdom as we give ourselves time to do the inner work and allow ourselves to flourish. We are a work in progress and that is a wonderful thing!
So, spring is a time to go after your dreams and blossom into whom you are meant to become.
“The blooming spring is the smile of the ever-joyful nature.” ― Debasish Mridha
