“Cold and dark this time of year,
the earth lies dormant,
awaiting the return of the sun,
and with it life.
Far beneath the frozen surface a heartbeat waits,
until the moment is right to spring.

As the earth grows colder,
the winds blow faster,
the fire dwindles smaller,
and the rains fall harder,
let the light of the sun
find its way home.”

Blessed Yule, my friends. Tonight is the longest and darkest night of the year, but when the sun rises in the early hours, a new year begins again with light and with hope. It has been a hard year for hope, but that doesn’t stop it from burning its way into my heart. I have a lot of wishes for the coming year but I will keep them close for now (most of them being health-related).

I hope the sun brings brighter days for the world and peaceful blessings to you and yours. May the new sun warm the hearts and souls of all.
