HAPPY Winter Solstice!



I am sooo pleased to be writing about Winter Solstice.  It is a wonderful celebration of welcoming the Light back into our lives.  The Light never leaves us, and we hold a flame steady burning within always.  Our inner sun will not damper.  Scientifically, we will Witness the Sun back in our lives a few more minutes each day, until Summer Solstice.  Despite the fact that winter begins, it is New Beginnings.

I have definitely gone inward this past fall.  As Talib Kweli says, "Reflection is a correction of memory."  I have reviewed my life this past year.  Introspective I say!  I have decided to keep or give-away parts of myself that serve, or no longer serve me.  What a process, for which I am grateful!  I imagine I am a spool of thread each year, in which I wind up, then unravel.  Wind and unravel.  

I also imagine the Child of Light within us all returning.  The Innocent One.  The other inner son.

For my family, I think we shall make beeswax candles to celebrate the Light.  We have so much to be thankful for.  Not material "things".  Love primarly.  Humility!  Imperfect perfectness!  Experience!~as Jimmy Hendrix said.  Freedom!  Freedom from the war of the mind, that manifests into Peace. 

I have nothing more to say, as God's silence in these times speaks volumes.
