we will circle again
Because the world is turning, the wheels are turning
Everything is over as soon as it begins.This green moment, my heart knows,
Temporary like a budding rose.
Although the flowers fade in turn
My heart sings the birth of May.
Beltane Night By Jaya
FFirst, if I may, I personally say:
The wheels turn, no matter what.
As you move toward May, as you bow to the unfurling oak leaves, dance the ancient dance with the Shiners tonight and revel in the sweet, swelling flowers that will bear fruit throughout the long autumn …

They are an ancient and divine blessing for all who receive them with the grace, joy, and ecstasy of the Earth itself.
We are at an unprecedented moment in human history, when civilization as we know it, our vibrant land, and all of us who share this planet face the most ominous of futures.
Yes, this is all true.
But now, on this sacred threshold, even with so much uncertainty, the life force that calls us now from the living land is irresistible. If possible, I highly recommend you stop by during this sacred moment.
Set aside for later use small Whatever sorrows and setbacks burden you, accept the restoration that can only be given by the hand of the Holy One.
Listen carefully and you’ll know our fairy cousins are really dancing around tonight. Tomorrow morning, dew will fall on the grass and flowers, heralding its magical elixir (read on for more on all this).
So remember this: the wheel of time endures. The divine conspiracy of love remains.
They have always been so, and we, the children of the wise, know that they have always been so.
It should be praised.
