Happy Yule, Winter Solstice

Solstice prayer:

Cold and dark, this time of year,

the earth lies dormant, 

awaiting the return

of the sun, 

and with it, life.

Far beneath the frozen surface,

a heartbeat waits,

until the moment is right,

for Spring.

May your longest night give insights and delightful dreams, and when you wake in the morning, may you feel joy that the light has returned once again!

Leonard Cohen, "Anthem"
