Feast of Arts, Works & Healing

Yesterday began the nine-day Feast of Arts, Works & Healing. It's a feast closely associated with Brighid, a Celtic Fire Goddess.

Brighid's Fire is the fire of INSPIRATION...the inspiration that moves one to write music or poetry or sculpt in some medium or other or form some other work of art.

That fire is TRANSFORMATIVE; it is taking raw materials (some of them of the physical world, some not) and making something new, that didn't exist before. 

That fire is HEALING and PURIFYING; it burns away disease and impurity and makes way for something fresh and new. 

Daily life is immersed in this fire and I hope to post things here that sing of that fire.
