Advent of the Sun Altar: Second Week, Second Candle


[Background info about this series of posts found here]

A meditation on the interplay of Darkness and Light in this time of waiting before the Winter Solstice:

We honour the growing Darkness.
We do not fear, avoid or fight it.
Without the dark, there are no dreams,
no healing sleep to refresh us,
no deep growth necessary for life.

We arise with the returning Light.
No matter how deep the descent,
the Light does return.

--paraphrased from Joanna Powell Colbert


You are welcome to join me again next Sunday!

...we are "enjoying" a bit too much darkness lately.

This is lovely, thank you. I love the long dark nights. But I was born in December, so maybe it's home to me.
