Tonight marks the Winter Solstice- the longest night of the year.

As Earth reaches a key point in its orbit, the Sun appears at its lowest path across the sky. Darkness lingers longer than on any other night.

But this is not just an ending- it’s a turning point.

From this moment forward, each day brings a little more light.

For thousands of years, cultures around the world have honored this night as a symbol of pause, reflection, and renewal- a quiet reminder that even in the deepest darkness, the return of light has already begun.

considered hope….

inquiry for today~ why you mark time and how you see your days…..

when it’s time….

After the longest night, tomorrow we sing up the dawn. There is a rejoicing that, even in the darkest time, the sun is not vanquished. As of tomorrow, the days begin to get longer as the light of day grows. While the gentle winter sun slowly opens its eyes, let us all bring more light and compassion into the world.
