Solstice

Today is the shortest day of the year. And the longest night. We are in the dark, or are we? When the light around me fades, I am called to bring more of it forward from within. That is the challenge I give to myself. And sometimes that can be a big challenge!

This year I am sending out holiday cards for the first time in a very long time. It feels good to bring forth some light and not be at the mercy of this darkness at this time of year. For too long I have felt at the mercy of the darkness.

I came across this photo/card I created years ago with an image from the Trail, and it spoke to me. The branches were a perfect place to hang my word ornaments! So I decided to use it once more for the holidays. At first I thought — you can’t do that, too many folks have seen it! So I changed the greeting to give it a bit of new life. And I am sending it out once again into this world and sharing it with you. We have all been told not to repeat ourselves. But I have learned, sometimes good things are worth repeating.

You are the light. May you bring forth all that lives within you.

You are the light. Happy Solstice!
