Winter Solstice Stillness
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 fantic 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.
