Dawn is here. A new day, but the same light. The flame we kept alit through the cold winter is growing. It’s ready for its rebirth, to claw out from the depths of darkness, regaining the day that night had so longly reigned over.
For much of life, we focus on the metaphoric dusk. With prices running rampant, politics segregating the people, and media amplifying lies, it’s hard not to. The game of shadows seems impossible to win, but I think winning is what we need to stop doing in the first place. Night will never cease to exist, for shadow is ubiquitous with light, only differing in degree along the horizon of polarity. Hence, dusk is no different than dawn if we allow the internal sun to shine. So as the earth continues its revolutionary dance, we decide how to play the game; the game of seasons, of shadows, of life.
Ostara marks the time when the great solar spirit begins casting longer rays across the sky; a time for renewal, hope, and optimism. Dán (pronounced dawn) is a Celtic word meaning our soul’s deepest purpose, our destiny, our calling, and our craft. It also translates to poem or gift. The expanding light is giving our seeds the chance for growth, for survival. At sunrise, our dream’s shadows are always biggest, but we dictate the stroke of our pen, we decide the story of our epic. We choose our dusk. Or we choose our dán.
Join us in a celebration of new beginnings. We have planted our seed. Now it’s time to give it light. Darkness will always come, but we shall witness dawn once again. For no matter the size of our dreams, they are eternally within reach, as long as we keep the light alive. Do not forget that a dream “of a thousand forests lies in one acorn.” So may we one day climb to the canopy of our creations to bear witness to the wilderness of courage that cultivated our positivity into possibility.
Happy Dáwn 🌅
