To the Activists. To the Peacemakers. To all who shone a light into the darkness of the past 8 years

Solstice

In this deep winter when so many are suffering
String colored lights
or light 8 candles
or even light just one

In this deep winter when we are caught between hopes and fears
light a candle in your heart

Know with every fiber of your being
this is the moment when the Earth turns toward light and warmth again

Solstice
in the heart of the darkest Winter lies the spark of Summer's Sun
reborn

To all my beloveds,
A most happy New Year.

7. Very very witty...

Wish I had that on a sign in my front yard to match our neighbor's giant Happy Birthday Jesus card.

8. Oh, please go outside and take a picture of it and email it to me!

Please!

39. I am not sure I can - will see what I can do...

She is known for being ever vigilant by her windows. Will see if I can get a shot today though. I did relate to my family yesterday your tres amusing statement and much laughing ensued about our putting a sign up to counterbalance theirs. But you know, that neighborly unity and peace stuff I have floating thru my head about how the world should be would probably be a huge hindrance to following through.

It's annoying to be a liberal some days. :P

I've been making machinima videos on youtube. Will you post your poem on the comments section of my video? It's so poignant.

20. A lovely message

Discordianism recognizes the Solstice as the time of the Original Snub, but we celebrate it anyway. In truth, I'm only posting her to get a hug. :pals:

22. May the blessings of the season be upon you, Hekate.

It does feel like a greater turning to the light this solstice than it has the last eight. I feel like a can rest more this season than I have during the Bush years. Thanks for the nice OP. :hug:


Your OP also reminded me of this Wiccan Carol: :)

Silent Night
"Ellen Reed"

Silent night, Solstice Night
All is calm, all is bright
Nature slumbers in forest and glen
Till the Springtime She wakens again
Sleeping spirits grow strong!
Sleeping spirits grow strong!

Silent Night, Solstice Night
Silver moon shing bright
Snowflakes blanket the slumbering earth
Yule fires welcome the Sun's rebirth
Hark, the Light is reborn!
Hark, the Light is reborn!

Silent Night, Solstice Night
Quiet rest till the Light
Ever turning the rolling wheel
Brings the Winter to comfort and heal
Rest your spirit in peace!
Rest your spirit in peace!

[Hekate]
