This morning was the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year.
It is a time of celebration because the light returns tomorrow as the days become longer each day. It is the return of de-light!
We still have longer nights than days until the Spring Equinox, so it is still a time for introspection and germination, like a seed in the soil.
This longest night of darkness and the return of the light… return of del-light…
Like most of us, as a child I felt the Joy and limitlessness of innocent youth. Then, just as the night becomes longer than the day, as I grew, I learned to think and experience life in the same way as those before me and around me. Or as don Miguel Ruiz would phrase it, I was domesticated. I forgot who I was.
So now it is time for us to return to the light. To remember who we are. To shine that Light. T return to the delight and the Light of our innocence.
It is time for the return of De-Light.
May your life and your year be filled with the Light and deLight!
