Dear Jovanna,
Your article took me back to my childhood In NW PA. where the winters were long & there was much snow. And it reminded me that as Spring approached, there were a succession of spring announcing snows that we would note, while waiting for the “final snow” Alas! It has been so many years that I forget all of them—but I do remember that one was a “robin snow” (when the robins had already returned), and there was an “Onion Snow”–when the wild onions were up. I think there were at least 2 more–and I think that everyone who would know is gone now. But thanks for these beautiful memories!

This post has that shiver of feeling that comes from such closeness to family and friends. What is interesting, to me, is how those whose family may not be nearby, or how those who live alone can participate in this practice. How often I have canoed out to a special, quiet place and had a farewell ceremony for a friend who has died or a relationhip that has ended or celebrated times of joy. Little piles of stones, fire, running water, all have a symbolic significance that help us celebrate the passages of life.

I love it when you come here for a visit, Becky! Yes, our children count on us, don’t they. Instead of waiting for the right moment, we have to make those moments happen. Now I’m going to come and visit you and take in the inspiration of your words!

Beautiful, Sam. The image of your family bathed in candlelight is precious.
