December: Wintering

“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.
