As of today it's officially Spring, even if Mother Nature hasn't got the memo yet.  ;-)  The Spring Equinox for many marks a day of balance and new beginnings, which got me thinking...   Do you feel more or less spiritual according to the seasons?  When do you feel more, and when less?


And on a completely unrelated note... Do you connect your spirituality in any way with your pets?  How so?

Spring, of course is new beginnings, color, flowers, green grass, odors i adore, esp lilac. The hibernation starts to end. people come out of the woodwork. I have more energy. Spring says, I am well again, summer, I am in full bloom, connected, alive, autumn says, watch out, days are getting shorter, think about St John's wort, possibly asking the guides to get me thru the cold months. winter is the challenge, to learn, rest, read, movies, hibernate. Learn to be alone with God and the guides, angels, etc. and computer!!!!!!!!!!!
My kitties, turning cats, 1 year old April 1. They keep me loving to come home to a not so empty house, a home with love. They are a gift from God, the girls were sent to make me happy thru any times I feel alone. A gift from the angels. They don't scratch furniture, they don't wake me up, they just watch me in the AM till I get out of bed. They sit at the window when i go to work and watch me walk to the car. They crawl under the covers when i am sleeping. They will be with me thru eternity. I'd say they add to my spirituality. they are pure love and radiate through my house. I have a love for then as pure as for my children. Love, leila

Aaaahhhh yes, wild animals there ya go . . . .

There are few things that can move my soul more than seeing a hawk or eagle on wing (and hearing an eagle's cry *Oh Wow*. . . . just the thought of that even!!). Definetly Spiritual!! Ya know the line in the song "Roll Me Away" by Bob Segar that says. ". . . just then I saw a young hawk soaring and my soul began to rise, and pretty soon, my hear was singing . . ." Ohhhhh yea, a hawk takes a huge part of me "up there" w/ it. And regardless of what my "troubles" may be at the time, it can shift my perspective!

One of the most incredible moments of my Life: I was honoured to watch the courtship flight/dance of two Golden Eagles!!!! (I still get goosebumps). Awesome ~ absolutely awesome!!

Blessings, "M"

I think I feel more spiritual when it's spring and summer because of the nice weather.


No pets here.

I definitely feel that the local animals and pets are connecting spiritually this time of year, for they are more cheerful, full of

Good morning beloved Jodi.


A bit chilly and damp in this part of England, but the daffs are starting to flower.


Seeing as I work with nature all the time and therefore outside all year round
