Happy Solstice!

A time of reflection

Not only is Christmas right around the corner, today, in the northern hemisphere is the shortest day and the longest night of the year - Winter Solstice. The science behind Solstice has to do with the tilt of the earth on its access

Ancient humans observing the stars learned about Solstice as they watched the wheel of the sky. They knew this longest day signaled the beginning of the days gradually getting longer, which would continue until summer Solstice. They greeted this day with ceremony and awe.

Solstice celebration

I feel much the same way. I'm one who glories in sunshine and light. My mood improves in almost direct proportion to the available daylight.

When I look deeply within myself, I have to admit to a primitive sense that the long nights are slightly scary. I'm so glad I was born now, when we know for sure the days will start to get longer again.

For me, this is a time of going deep within - of holding close and waiting for expansion. I love the night sky, although in San Diego the stars are often obscured by fog or the marine layer. But when it's clear, the Moon, and this year Mars, and always Venus fill me with awe and gratitude.

I'll do some sort of celebration tonight. I'll probably smoke my home with sage, eat a special meal and focus, at least for a few minutes, on gratitude. I'll spend a few more moments reviewing the year - not exactly an inventory but a mental review of the highlights for me.

Celebrating Solstice has become part of my personal spiritual practice. You might want to make it part of yours.

Love, peace and abundance,
