Februalia

Cleanse this soul with inward search
Leave the doubting in the lurch
Springing forth with new life soon
Purified ‘neath February’s moon

Interesting

I didn't know that! I love how you incorporate such information into your writing. I have done much reflecting this month and am working on the renewal part. A strong, spiritual write as always. Well done

I am always...

amazed at the eclectic bits of information you come up with. It is as though you save them up for us. I suppose that it might be natural to have a bit of reflection and renewal at the end of the long, cold winter months. Wondering what we can do to improve this new year. Nice work, ~ Geez.
