May Day. Beltane. The crossroad between spring and summer.
A time for tending, for trusting. For holding close what’s blooming—and letting what’s no longer ours return to the soil.
In Celtic tradition, Beltane was a fire festival—a celebration of fertility, aliveness, and the earth’s turning toward fullness. In more modern times, May Day has also become a symbol of labor and liberation—a call to honor the work, the workers, the worth of time and rest.
Both meanings feel essential right now.
To plant with intention.
To resist the rush.
To honor what it takes to grow something real—whether it’s a garden, a business, or a life.
This photo has been shared before—but like all good things, it’s worth a quiet revisit. The moment, the energy, the softness—it still rings true.
Dirty Radish is in a season of gentle return. I’m still exploring, still listening, still planting. Revisiting places, reconnecting with people, and remembering what grounds me.
There’s beauty in the in-between.
In slow mornings, unhurried meals, long walks, and little sparks of creative fire.
This is where it starts again.
Softly. Intentionally. Deliciously.
Wherever you are, may you take time to nourish yourself—so that what you grow, give, and share comes from a well that’s full.
Rest is resistance. Joy is nourishment. Growth takes time. Tend to it all.
