Lusty Month of May

May Day is celebrated on May 1st, a time of celebrating Spring and exchanging flowers with neighbors and friends. In earth-relating and deities-relating cultures of the Northern hemisphere, the themes of fertility, beauty, renewal, art and abundance were celebrated in festivals like Walpurgisnacht, Beltane, and Floralia. International Workers Day is May 1st as well. How can we embrace the beauty and emergence around us while remembering the work that we must do?
