Now the sweet season of introspection, quiet, peaceful snowscapes, good books, long nights, welcoming fires, warm hearths, cozy afternoons, wanderings, deepening, dreaming, awakening…
We celebrate this longest night with a glad heart, knowing that with each subsequent day, the sun will grace us with ever more moments of light. Each day more light.
May our lives, our very souls know this too; each day more light!
O Winter ruler of the inverted year… I crown thee king of intimate delights, fireside enjoyments, home-born happiness, and all the comforts that the lowly roof of undisturbed retirement, and the hours of long uninterrupted evening, know.”
-William Cowper
“Let us love winter, for it is the spring of genius.”
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
-Helen Keller
“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends”
-Martin Luther King Jr.
Love is, as always, prevailing in the ethers that bind us. Cohesive, firm, immersed in the knowledge that we are all equal. There is no other possible outcome than that of equity for all precious humans and animals on the planet, and for the mother Earth herself.
From sunrise’s sweet pastels over the grandfather mountains to sunset’s golden colors bathing every person, rock, waterway, mountain, winged one, and animal, there is softness, sweetness, and truth.
Love will prevail. Love is prevailing.
May we all be Love Warriors, vigilant, persistent, focused, and true.

“Yesterday is but today’s memory, and tomorrow is today’s dream.”
-Khalil Gabran
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”
“If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself, if you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.”
