Persephone’s return to the upper world is eminent… Spring will come, and like the Goddess of the Underworld, when primavera arrives, we too will be more wise, coveting the sunlight, blue skies, fresh air, and pure green grasses (and here, carduna plants) of the new season.
Let’s keep the faith… Please get vaccinated and continue to practice social distancing and mask wearing so we can return to the glory of the sun of Sicily. I can’t wait to share her with you!
