 Wishing you a happy Imbolc- the Celtic/Pagan festival marking the first day of spring. It's also referred to as Saint Brigid's Day and more or less coincides with Candlemass; religions do seem to have a tendency to overlap in that way.
 Without getting into a discussion about creation it is probably fair to say that all spiritual beliefs incorporate observation of nature in some shape or form. And today I observe that the first of the Crocuses in the garden have opened their flowers to join the Snowdrops and the Winter Aconites.
