During the month of December, I try not to focus on the busyness of the holidays and all the drama of the family gatherings. Instead, I reflect on the cycle of nature, the Solstice. There is a spiritual message that is shared to us during the celebration of the ending of the dark nights and the return of the light. Birth will always follow death. Life will be renewed after the winter, and spring brings the promise of a new beginning. We are destined to travel through the dark, but we always arrive at the light.
This celebration of light is truly an outpouring of love, grace and power which renews our connection to the breath of life itself. This is why the Solstice, the return to light, is so important.
If we take time to connect on the darkest night of the year, our universal light of tomorrow and the sacred illumination within our lives will be renewed.
Wishing you the magic of the Solstice.
