Today is the darkest day of the year. Since the beginning of times, we have celebrated this darkest time of the year. In the natural darkness, it is time for stillness and illumination. To come "indoors" for quiet times and reflective moments, balanced with inner light, illumination, and celebration. Winter is the time for hibernation, incubation, reflection, rejuvenation, contemplation, and completion in preparation for the new. Here is a poem Sybil wrote in celebration for this time of year: My body still and wise I trust The design so well thought , the love poured in and the life well lived My body still and wise I trust My age and my movement brings me deeper into questions and seeking My body still and wise I trust What I can imagine and see of the perfection has never dwindled in me My body still and wise I trust It is all possible for me and therefore true for you My body still and wise I trust Higher self and limitless love I exude My body still and wise I trust Guide me through this discomfort and still my doing so I can hear exactly what to be I align myself with truth I trust in the stillness and now I know where and how I am meant to be Happy Holidays and Winter Solstice. |
