Brigid in CyberspaceI mentioned in the last post that this is Imbolc. I forgot to say that this festival also celebrates the goddess Brigid, who among other things is associated with poetry. Because of that, today is the Second Annual Brigid in Cyberspace Silent Poetry Reading, which you can read about here. Here’s the poem I picked, one that has stayed with me since I first read it in college and one that I think of whenever I fly somewhere. “High Flight” Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth - Pilot Officer Gillespie Magee, No 412 squadron, RCAF, killed 11 December 1941 4 comments to Brigid in Cyberspace |

Happy Imbolc, Julie. I celebrated by making little “sun” cheese biscuits and grilled cheese/pickle sandwiches for another “like minded” friend who stopped by. Did you know there’s a group of us who are called “Brighid’s Dyers?”… named after Brighid because she was born with fire coming out of her head, and who better to watch over a bunch of solar dyers after all?
Happy Imbolc, sweetie
I really like the poem you posted
Happy Imbolc! I’m glad you’re a happy little Pagan these days.
That is a beautiful poem, Jules. I’ve never read it before. It’s a good way to start a Sunday. Happy Spring-on-the-way to you!!
