| Our front yard last week. |
This moon is called the Snow Moon, but hopefully we will have no more snow- we had a foot last week! Our normal cold, wet days of February are perfect for reading, writing, prayer, and contemplation, and especially consideration of the state of my relationships. This is a good month to put extra energy and attention into love and friendship.
February is a month of expectation and quiet growth, exciting me with it’s potential. My “seeds of inspiration” are swelling; I am anticipating a creative awakening and a rebirth of energy. The cold weather is frustrating, though; I long to get outside to dig and to feel the sun! I need patience - I know the seeds are growing underground. I know the ideas are growing in my heart; warmth, sustenance, and faith will bring the growth I want in my soul and my life.
Agenda for today:
1. Altar:
Each month at the full moon I put a motto or quote on my altar, to ponder as a theme for the month. This month it's Galatians 5:22-23--
I also add new candles, in colors that symbolize what I want to focus on. In February I add-
Review the intentions I set 2 weeks ago, at the new moon.
Do these goals all still seem vital? What are my next steps?
Consider the relationships, new projects, ideas, and missions I am nurturing in my life.

Consider the relationships, new projects, ideas, and missions I am nurturing in my life.
How can I be more openhearted and patient with these?
3. Visualization:
Light my pink candle and settle into quiet meditation. Focus on the tender emotion of generous love. Allow a smile to settle on my face and in my heart. Visualize love as soft, tingly, warm, pink light, and see it move from my heart to every part of my body so that every cell is glowing and vibrating. Now see the pink light of love radiating to fill the whole room, then the whole city, and the whole planet earth. See that all people, plants, and animals feel warm and happy. Send an extra dose of love light to my family and close friends.
Pray: "Great Spirit, open my heart to generous love."
