Winter Solstice Blessings
Posted on | December 21, 2009 | 1 Comment
This is my meditation today on the Winter Solstice.
In the sunlight and the shadows of leafless, winter trees, I walk alone and silent. Hush, child, and listen to the quiet expectantly.
Yes, there it is — so still most miss it — the heartbeat between the waning and the waxing. Just a moment, quick as the blink of an eye and full as an open heart.
Turn off the TV and the Christmas music. Put down the books. Stop the frantic bustle. Just be still in the silence and darkness. Just breathe and listen for the blood pumping through your body.
Wait for it. Do not “do” anything. Breathe into it. The space between — the Solstice.
I’m still snowed in. The city hasn’t plowed our street yet, though some intrepid souls including my husband, have made it out. I took today off from work to observe the solstice alone and quiet.
Many blessings to you and yours. May the fertile womb of the Mother take you in and renew your spirit in preparation for the increasing light.
