April

April......It's April already.  La Bonne Vie!!!

How did it become April 11th already!!! I have been so busy with trips and holiday's that I completely let this month come in without a celebration.....

Welcome April.

April is poetry month, so just in time a springtime poem:

Springtime

By Théophile Gautier
Look at the boughs,
How white they are,
It’s snowing flowers!
Scoffing at the rain,
The sun dries
The weepy willow.
And the sky reflects
In the violets
Its pure colors…
The fly opens its wings
And the dragonfly
With the golden pupils,
And the wasp-like corset,
Unfolding its silky wings,
Has resumed its flight.
The water happily babbles,
The tiny fish wriggles
It’s Springtime again!


April, the name of this lovely and exciting month is derived from Aprilis, a Roman analogue of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and death.  Her many spells are of Passion and devotions to the dead.
April's healing properties, Return the balance of nerves, cleanse and strengthen. I like that a lot, my nerves from my brain to my toes are still healing. I am at level 12 or a 24 level healing program...
The communal event is dancing around the Maypole, funny I thought that would be in May!!, but it represents the Tree of Life, ( surprise, its also the meaning of cleaning your house).
Aprils color: Crimson, green, brown
Flower: Sweet pea, daisy
Gem: Diamond
Listen to April...her music is in the wind, her spirit is in our hearts, and her message is Love.
Be Inspired,
