Daffodils for Ostara

by Summer Fey Foovay

The daffodils are always blooming for Ostara where I live.

I welcome their sunny yellow faces with a vast, deep joy and relief. They are very special to me for several reasons.

One is that I suffer from Seasonal Affect Syndrome. That is, long, cold, dark, dreary winter causes me to be depressed and often ill. It is not unusual for me to be blessing a garden I cannot see on Brigids Day - but by Ostara the flowers are up and blooming. To me they are the light at the end of the tunnel! They mean I am free of this endless, useless sorrow and back outdoors, happy and joyful and my real self again.

But there is another reason. I would like, if nothing else, to leave this world a little better place than I found it. If I do nothing else, I will be satisfied.

One gray day, when I was really not in a good place in my life, I was walking and saw this overgrown, neglected yard, behind an abandoned house, full of defiantly and beautifully abundant blooming daffodils. I couldn't help but smile when I saw them. And, as I had the camera, snap these photos.

Visiting with a neighbor I learned the couple that owned the house had died, and apparently the family did not care to keep it or sell it. Thus it had slowly fallen into disrepair. Yet the daffodils one woman had diligently planted to beautify her corner of the world bloomed on, brightening my day, and reminding her neighbors, who clearly remembered her fondly.

Hope and life Spring Eternal.

And that is what the daffodils mean.

Blessedbe
