As I light the candle, nestled in my reed basket that contains pine cones from many places we have lived, sprigs from the miniature Colorado blue spruce that is our festive tree and dried orange slices, my symbols of the coming of the light, I send you this old Celtic blessing for Winter Solstice::
“Deep peace of the running waves to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
May the beauties of the earth, sky and sea
Fill your heart with lasting peace and contentment”
So happy to be welcoming back the light. Spent the day down by the sea.
I particularly like your dark and light picture.
Happy Solstice to you and Soul-O.

the circular path of season, allowing us to come back around with new eyes. to appreciate all that’s happened in the in-between. to celebrate! light, be! x
Oh, Jude! Season is our teacher! It reminds us to rest when it’s time. And to awaken, too. For now, I hunker down. I’ve been doing gentle yoga with candle. I sleep so well. A Blessed Wynter Solstice to you.
And so, the light begins
to seep in a little more
each day. Life begins
with the light, growing again
~unfinished poem by me
Thank you for the reminder!
And love and light to you dear Jude. ❤️☀️❤️
💕
Yes, more light. For all. ❤️
Happy Solstice, Jude. May there be more light, indeed. ☀️🎄🌨️❄️
Solstice blessings to you and Soul-O. Let the light return.
I love the saying, “the faithfulness of the wheel.”
Love and light to you, Jude, inside and out!

It’s all too beautiful.
We are here so lightly

We are so lightly here. Just listening to him today.
Have a beautiful holiday season! I enjoy your words of wisdom so much and all your textile pieces. Blessings, Marcy
