Light Returning
We made it through the longest night of the year with a dusting of snow and a gusting wind that seemed to mirror the recent upheaval of violence in nature and culture. We marked the passage of the winter solstice with feasting and dancing with friends around the warm hearth of community. According to the Mayans, the slate is wiped clean. What will we write on it now? With all the pressing issues at hand, a simple thought comes to mind. Now that the light is returning, will my chickens start laying again?

Glad you missed a major snow storm or perhaps not with it being so close to Christmas. A clean slate sounds perfect.

I will write upon the slate kind words to all, daily song-playing, and eggs from your chickens when the moon releases her ovum upon the ocean of nightsky. 🙂

You must be on the southern edge of the storm, as we here in the Midwest had A LOT more than a dusting. It somehow seemed fitting that the shortest day of the yer should be so bright, after the previous week and the upheaval of Thursday’s storm. Sounds like you had a great solstice celebration!

I am happy it’s back after a month of on and off sketchiness. I’d like to wipe my slate clean and have all the Christmas stuff disappear now!

My slate will be filled with all things beautiful. It is what I will aim to see and be.
