A Winter Solstice Prayer

Tonight, we step into the dark
to find the light
and it is here Winter comes
to sooth our minds
and heal our hearts
It comes not as a foe
but as a friend
offering place by the hearth of Life
a place
to slow down
Somewhere we can learn to be like
The Ones who hibernate
The Ones who wait
The Ones who understand and honour
the call…the need to slow down and pause
The Ones who walk gently upon the earth
and with themselves
Tonight
on this dark night
Winter comes
to remind us the light does and will return
“I am holding you” says The Winter Earth
“You never walk alone, for I am always here, with you and each step you take. Rest wild ones, rest and remember the ways of your people. And it is there you will find the warmth of the light within and around you. There you will sit at the fires of the good ancestors and re-member we are all here together.”
🕯️❄️🦌🤍🎄
Blessed Winter Solstice to all 🙏🏻

56 turns...

12/2/2024

Yesterday I acknowledged and honoured
my 56 turns around the sun with some of those I love and who love me.
This past year of 55 was a year of dying to self and the landscape around me. So many big changes within and without. Too many to mention here and some too tender toshare in such a space.

Here’s what I know:
There are many things I don’t understand
about this human experience
and probably won’t ever
Very little stays as it is
This life is a vast field of possibilities
Caring and Sharing matters
We all have a thread
that we weave into this tapestry of life
Love is everything

Be well humans
We are here together
Lets consider and live from that truth

Aho
So it is
Here I remain 🕯️🦉🖤
