While I was born in the light of early morn, time has been my teacher and so too the many gifts of darkness.

I’m settling in for a little hibernation too, trusting all that is to follow.

sending you love on this turn of the year.

I've said it before - we do this season all wrong. Advent is increasing darkness, waiting, pregnancy,...it should be contemplative, quiet. After - is the 12 days of Christmas, increasing light, increasing activity, celebration, noise...wish we still did it that way. Seems all the loud hubub happens before, and then it all shuts down.

Thank you for this perfect reminder that the light needs the darkness, we need the darkness. It’s where we mature and prepare to burst forth, or gently glide forward.

Calendar Quartet

Fall is the notice

To prepare for a winter's

Cold introspection

Coming in cycle

Waxes greening of springtime

Feasts of light, rebirth

Summer bursts of glory

Birds aloft like our dreamings

All ready for harvest

Winter cold moon sleeping

Closed eyes breath slow rise and fall

Sums are dried and stored
