Like the iconic Breck commercial, I love the way that bloggers pass along a great idea and before you know it countless of us across the cybersphere are adding our energy to a working, joining our sisters in a boundless circle of community.

I learned from Hecate about a lovely way to honor Brigid on Imbolc, her day, which is tomorrow. The event is the third annual Brigid in Cyberspace Poetry Reading, started by Reya and publicized by Deborah Oak at Branches Up, Roots Down, among others.

WHAT: A Bloggers (Silent) Poetry Reading



WHEN: Any time February 2, 2008



WHERE: Your blog



WHY: To celebrate the Feast of Brigid, aka Groundhog Day



HOW: Select a poem you like - by a favorite poet or one of your own - to post February 2nd.



RSVP: If you plan to publish, feel free to leave a comment and link on this post. Last year when the call went out there was more poetry in cyberspace than I could keep track of. So, link to whoever you hear about this from and a mighty web of poetry will be spun.



Feel free to pass this invitation on to any and all bloggers.

Thank you, Reya, for beginning what is now an annual event.

While it might be fun to try my hand at a bit of poetry, I think I'll spare myself the embarrassment and post something that is actually good. Tune in tomorrow! And be sure to make your way around the blogosphere to see how others are honoring Brigid for Imbolc.

Blessed be everyone!

UPDATE: All participants should create a link their blog poetry in a comment at this post by Deborah Oak. You can leave a link in comments here if you like, which would be lovely, but Deborah is the keeper of the thread.

May you feel Brigid's inspiration and the quickening of the Earth today!
