🌸 On Spring 🌸
The earth flowers for you, Hera Antheia, and for you, daughter of rich-haired Demeter. The skies open and the sun dispenses its millions of rays for your glory, bringing to light the myriads of petal-soft jewels that cover the earth, nursed by the Kharites and brought to life by their midwives, the Horae. The days grow longer because you add time to them; the birds sing you songs, sweet melodies that delight the soul, because they are full of love for you who love them and nourish them as your own. Hail, great goddesses, on this beginning of spring! Rejuvenate us just like you rejuvenate the earth, make us anew just like you renew nature and its beauty, and be propitious to us all.
