The Sap is Rising

A prayer for awakening

---

Happy new moon in Aquarius, Lunar New Year, Hebrew month of Adar and close of Imbolc. Even if the sap isn’t literally rising in the trees where you are, we can feel the quickening inside of us. While we haven’t left the season of stillness, some of us can already feel movement or movement toward movement expanding inside us. This prayer is for all of us. May we feel what we feel and be seen as we are.

Amen.

Are you feeling this awakening? What does it feel like for you? Are you welcoming it? Resisting it? Yearning for it? Feel free to share your response in the comments.

Oh Shechinah,
Goddess of healing
root of my wisdom
As this dark winter turns to spring
help me to feel your sap
flow through me
filled with nourishment and warmth
and the grounding force of the earth.
Mother,
may I feel your arms around me each day
as a comfort
holding me
coaxing the tears and anger
from inside me
until I am fresh and new
laid open to my own eyes.
Be my mirror
so that I may see
the good and power inside me
so that I may see myself
as you see me.
Amen.
