Here’s the reflection: St George’s Day is ultimately about facing your own dragons. That difficult email you’ve been avoiding? The conversation you’re dreading? The tedious spreadsheet? Think of George’s lance as your early morning alarm—sharp, purposeful, and capable of slaying procrastination.
It’s also a reminder to find joy in small symbols. A red rose in your window, a flag on your bike, a toast with a friend. These are not grand gestures; they are everyday acts of belonging. They say, “I am here, I am part of this messy, beautiful story.”
So this April 23rd, take a moment. Brew the tea, put on your favourite England shirt, and maybe—just maybe—read a few lines from a medieval poem. You don’t need a horse or a sword. You just need a little courage, a little community, and the knowledge that somewhere in history, a man fought a dragon for a princess and a country’s soul. Now that’s a Tuesday worth remembering.
