Solstice 2008

Sunday 12/21/08 time 3:16 AM - Karuna

The Earth, again, has made her journey back through darkness...

.....I am usually not awake at this hour....at precisely the darkest hour...Solstice is upon us as I write this...the earth seems to be standing still, waiting, wondering, rejoicing in the coming of the light...the north of the earth is the darkest and closer towards the sun at this moment, yet we can not feel the warmth of this exterior celestial being - we must be warmed by our own inner movements within this stillness.

Universe, God, Spirit, One, Adonai, Ya, Mother, Christ, Allah, Love ... alive in our hearts, our homes and our world ... guide us in your beautiful, compassionate way through this darkness ... but not too quickly, for there are riches held in the darkness, gifts we will stumble over and must open, gratitude to be offered before receiving Your light again.

I thank each one of you for glorious ways you have touched my life and for all the gifts you give to me by being in my life.  I am filled with so much gratitude and joy to be alive and with you all!

I close with a song that has been playing in my head and heart at this hour, one I learned many years ago on this day.
Love & Blessings to all,
Karuna

Light is returning
even though this is the darkest hour
no one can hold back the dawn

Let's keep it burning
Let's keep the light of hope alive
make safe our journey through the storm

One planet is turning
circle on her path around the Sun
Earth-Mother is calling Her children home
