Happy Winter Solstice!

by Deb Strafuss

In the dark I rise

and close my eyes

winter’s painted white

all sins lost within the night

softly falling out of sight…

Time to light the light!

One flickering flame

a wealth of bright to gain

sheds warming glow

to draw me close

against the darkness of the snow

Time to celebrate the nights of life! To welcome the chrysalis of winter, to wonder and hibernate in the soul’s sleep of cold and dark while the spirit’s work of life and creation form in the dark.  Let winter into your soul, wander in its inner warmth, the energy of new thoughts, directions, plans and life that will bud and grow within the depth of your being if only you let them grow as you slumber in winter’s keep. Do not fight the darkness, fear it or run from it. Embrace the winters of your soul. They are the fertile ground for growth.

Happy New Year
