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.
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.

This is so very beautiful. Reading it by candlelight and listening to the midwinter rain. Thank you 🖤✨

Fall is the notice
To prepare for a winter's
Cold introspection.
We are on our way to a new season of rebirth.

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
