“You are the root of heaven, the morning star, the bright moon, the house of endless Love.” - Rumi.
We get a dusting of snow to set the mood. Our solstice party was joyous and we took the children on a lantern walk in the forest. It's time for flannel sheets, and comfort foods. A mysterious envelope arrives from faraway lands. Santa arrives, and I'm awakened before dawn by the man cub holding a stocking full of treats. "I'm shaking with excitement", he exclaims. I open beautiful gifts left under the tree for me by friends. Deep gratitude infuses the season. We begin winter break with the new Star Wars movie. Our home is a bustle with friends at play. We brave the cold to watch the supermoon rise above the treetops. The close of the year was peaceful and joyous.
