Greetings denizens of Sapience,

We reflect upon our own lives and try to observe where we are in our
continual cycles of thought and action. Some may see the seasons within
us by only our age, but I truly know we follow a much more repetitious
cycle.

Through changes and events of our lives we tumble through the seasons,
wintering to be reborn when we become lost, praying to awaken to more
exciting, enjoyable times. But we must always remember that the seasons
will go on, we will bloom and fade and bloom again, just as Nature does
all around us.

I wish to invite you all to an upcoming festival hosted by Duiran, to be
held just around howling this coming Ios of 136 MA, just two short
months away.

This will be the first of four consecutive festivals to be held
honouring the four seasons with which nature could not survive without.
One season every year for four years - starting with the Festival of
Spring this year!

All are invited to join us within the Spring Chamber - located in the
Benandanti Complex in Eleusis - for a spring ritual of blessings and
talk of the birth of the world that spring brings. Following this ritual
there will be a number of songs, as well as poetry and dancing too - and
best of all a feast! Anyone is welcome to bring poetry, song, riddles or
games for the festival (feel free to contact me regarding any of this).

Listen for my voice heralding the start of the festival across the lands
within a day or so of the actual festival! We look forward to
celebrating the coming of spring with you all!

Should you have any questions, please dont hesitate in asking!
