A Light is Born

A light is born: 

one week away from winter solstice, from that point on it's a slow increase of light, and even though it's still early in the season - darkness loses just a slight hold on my emotions, something deep within me senses light's arrival and opens to its grace.

winter is a tough season for many, depression may deepen even if it's not seasonal, and the weather can keep us isolated, feeling alone, withdrawn from the world. I think that this is why the solstice has become so meaningful for me, it's hopeful, that even a sliver of light may find it's way through inner darkness. It's an occasion just before Christmas, auspicious, and makes the true meaning of the season. 

within us all...

a light is born.

this ties so neatly to Easter for me, a spring rite of renewal, my slightest light, a spark really, has endured, nurtured through the coldest season...and is now offered to the world. But it starts with that first hint of light through the darkest hours of the entire year. 

hope is born.

light. 

and my spirit will endure.
