'Tis Yule at long last . . .
The shortest day of the
year, yet midst the cold
days of winter, the days
begin to elongate.
I tend to think of Yule
as a winter salad of days.
Visits with family and
friends, special foods
and drinks, exchanging
gifts and well wishes,
sharings by the fireside.
Yule, December 21st.
is the last sabbat in the
fiscal year and celebrates
the first day of winter.
Like dates, March 21st,
the first day of spring,
June 21st, the first day of
summer and September
21st, the first day of fall.
One of the things I love
about these four days is,
all of us, no matter our
beliefs, are united in the
acknowledgment and
celebration . . . changing
of the seasons.
Pray, may you have a
most wondrous Winter
Solstice 'midst this
evening's snow and
freezing weather. Have
a sit by your fires, share
memories, hopes and
dreams.
The morrow begins the
sun's long journey back
to warmth and joy . . .
