May Day or Mayday?

5/1/2021

 
May Day or mayday? Do we celebrate spring, or honor the workers of America, or send out a distress call? May Day – May 1 – is the halfway point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. This date is also International Workers’ Day, which grew out of the 19th-century labor movement. And mayday (no space) is an internationally recognized distress signal, named as such because it sounds like the French word, m'aider, which means “help me."
“It is spring again. The earth is like a child who knows poems by heart.”
- Rainer Maria Rilke
God’s promise: “At a time of distress, the rush of mighty spring waters shall not reach you. You are safe from trouble. I will instruct you and teach you the way.”
​- Psalm 32:7
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, I am ready to do the hard work to confront, heal, and release that which is giving me grief. Just as I welcome the change of seasons, I embrace the change in my thinking. All distress is released; my life is made new. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
