a perfect time to reflect on the year.
Let the dawns
come late,
let the sunsets
arrive early,
let the evenings
extend themselves
while I lean into
the abyss of my being
Joyce Rupp Winter’s Cloak
I love the starkness of a winter landscape when the trees are laid bare.
I love the extra time in the mornings to look at the night sky.
I love the feeling of solitude that comes with ours being the only tracks on a blanket of fresh snow.
For those celebrating the Winter Solstice, I hope your day is filled with peace, love, and joy.
