Merry Meet & Blessed May Day!
Today's post is a repost (with some editing) from May 1, 2017.
I remember being in Second Grade in Longmont Elementary School - Longmont CO and being taught the Maypole in the school gymnasium. I can't say for sure but with all of the restrictions on learning culture and history, I think I'm safe to bet my granddaughter isn't enjoying the same experience tomorrow.
The Maypole tradition is thousands of years old. For many this ceremony is part of MidSummer otherwise known as Beltane. The tradition varies from region to region.
For me, when I see the Maypole I see a strong tree, sprouting with new growth, representing all the colors of the populace that make up our world. Men and Women, Boys and Girls of all walks of life and ethnicity working together towards a common goal... Unity.
I'd love for you to share your thoughts.
Don a flower crown, hand bundles of flowers wrapped in paper to hang on someone's door and feel the blessings of what can be when we work together to share the love.
Many Blessings
~Rain
