Today is the solstice, a full moon and a lunar eclipse. Winter pivots on this day, as if the sole purpose of lighting all our holiday candles is to announce the coming of these longer days.
Last week, there was a winter storm here in the City Different that left eight inches of snow. This mantle of white ignites my love of winter as it transforms the hard edges of contrast while blending, connecting and unifying all things. I think snow is “grace in form” displaying no discrimination as it blesses everything from the dumpster to the trees. It is this beauty that seeps inside reacquainting my heart with wonder and love while snowflakes land without a sound.
In this stillness the outer world pierces my mind’s assessment of wonder. Beyond all the painted words is this place of trust and direct connection with the absolute truth of our existence. As I celebrate the snow, the solstice and the coming of the light, I send you this peace that has no edges, no form, no beginning and no end.
Bless you all.
