Winter solstice is known for being the darkest day of the year, but the profound and interesting thing to understand about this moment, is that it is also the exact moment when the light begins to return. found here
That moment was at 10:03 this morning here in Maine.....the sun paused for just a moment and shifted. Today also marked the Advent week of Love. What a perfect pairing...Love and Light.
After the 2016 election when things felt pretty hopeless....my son Sam said...There's only love. It was comforting for me to hear that from my youngest son....and I knew that it would be the LOVE of my friends and family that would get me through.
Here we are...nine years later and LOVE is needed more now than ever. I still have to believe that in the end...LOVE...and justice...and decency will prevail. We just have to be patient and keep loving.
My heart skipped a little beat today and shot off a few internal fireworks as I consciously celebrated the turning point in the earth''s annual swing around the sun when we shift from diminishing to increasing light. Hallelujah! Love and light!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with your puzzle, MaryAnn—you finished piecing it together and all the lights came on in the Snowcap Village!
I so agree with you on the need for love, justice, decency, and patience, MaryAnn. And your puzzle is such a delight! How wonderful that the gold accents catch the sunlight, looking like shining lights. And it is such a charming scene!
