What is the key
To untie the knot of the mind’s suffering?
Benevolent thought, sound
And movement.

Walpurgisnacht traditionally marks the old feast day of Saint Walpurga, one of the first literate evangelical nuns active in Frankish Germany. Pagans observe it as the night before Beltane (May 1), the beginning of Summer, a time of freedom, fertility and hope.

The Moon is in Cancer until Sunday 12:00 EDT/4:00 UT. A great time to cook something yummy, get cozy, be close to loved ones, plant something and help it grow, be kind to your body, create something beautiful, and dive deep into your dreams. #astrology

Buddhism holds that hungry ghosts are the tormented spirits of those who led lives of evil deeds or died in horrible violence. Also, ancestors must be honoured to prevent them from turning into hungry ghosts doomed to forever haunt the Earth seeking remembrance.

The World is very old
But year by year
It groweth new again
When buds appear.

The World is very old
And sometimes sad
But when the daisies come
The World is glad.

The World is very old
But every Spring
It groweth young again
And fairies sing.
