When I was in elementary school in the early 1950's (we've already established I'm old people...move on), we used to celebrate May Day and have a May Pole with ribbons that got laced around the poles. As I recall the ribbons were affixed at the top. Each one held on the end by a child and then we would walk around the circle going to the left of one child and then on the right of the next....or something in that fashion.
Originally this was a spring festival celebrating human fertility and the renewal of nature honoring the Roman goddess Flora; it spread throughout the Roman empire. It was especially popular in medieval England but went out of favor with the Puritans. I'm pretty sure there were no fertility rights going on at the old Glenmont Elementary School.
Yesterday I went for my monthly acupuncture treatment. Interestingly enough Death showed up again while I was there. Now I don't mean someone actually died, but something entered the room with us during treatment and I intuitively knew it was a personification of death, but not dark, it was a very light being. I'm not sure what this means.
Today we're off to NIH (boy that time off sure went fast). Perhaps we'll be given some idea about what happens next in the treatment arena. Back to the last treatment or something new???
Perhaps I'll update later today if I get any additional treatment information.
It looks to be a nice day in the high 70's. Get outside and inhale your share of the pollen.
