Solstice Celebrations

in the mailbox this morning...

Somewhere, someone is praying for things most of us take for granted: the people and things in our lives that bring us happiness, joy, freedom and peace.

We here in the Northern Hemisphere are preparing to celebrate the return of longer daylight after the long stillness and renewal gifted to us by the darkness. Find a pause in the celebrations to make note: While Creation's Watercourse moves in silence and shadow to impregnate our future it is simultaneously forging ahead in the bright light and songs of the present in the neighborhoods of our brothers and sisters in the Southern Hemisphere.
