Epiphany Joy: Bulbs

“How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!
    People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the abundance of your house;
    you give them drink from your river of delights.
For with you is the fountain of life;
    in your light we see light.” Psalm 36: 7-9

Sometimes it is all about hope and timing.  Epiphany certainly leads us in this direction. Sunshine and water are symbols we often associate with springtime, but here they are in the season of Epiphany.  A new revelation, a new way of seeing the world.  Something new out of the darkness.

Flower bulbs, of course, are the perfect symbol for this time.  Quietly waiting beneath the soil.  Collecting water and waiting for warmth to bring forth a beautiful blossom.  

Towards hope and timing, try one of these practices this week:

Plant a bulb if the ground is soft enough.  Or even put some in the fridge and then grow them on a sunny countertop, coffee table, or windowsill. 

Spend some time thinking about or planning your spring garden.  

Journal about the following questions:
What are you anticipating during this season of epiphany?
What are some dreams you have for the future?

If you have the Epiphany Comfort Kit, use your field notes book to capture your thoughts and reflections on the journal. This week would also be a great time to either plant or force your bulbs.
