YULE
Winter returns,
Bringing short, cold days and long, dark nights.
But all around us,
Bright against the dark background of the season,
Moments of light abound.
The warm glow of a fire in the hearth,
Candles in the night.
The pale but welcoming brightness of the winter sun
hanging low in the sky.
The moon.
A star.
The bright radiance of a child's face lit up with a joy that holds nothing back.
An inner glow of satisfaction as I recall a bright memory to treasure forever.
A spark of light at the thought of a friend.
I wish for you Bright Blessings of many such moments of light this winter.
