"We need to sit on the rim of
the well of darkness and fish
for fallen light with patience."
~Pablo Neruda
Since Winter Solstice, the days
are charged with elongation.
Every evening, I look for the
light to last for yet another little
while. So far, I have witnessed
no change. I do understand that
the daily changes are minuscule,
still . . .
My soul longs for the light. I've
strived to be more patient this
time around. I get that I need to
spend more time outside, but
the below 0 weather and deep
snow only encourage me to sit
by the fire even more.
I've been reading some positive
affirmations about the dark of
winter. I appreciate suggestions
along the idea of hibernation,
soul searching, reading, resting,
quiet time.
I am acting on said suggestions
to the best of my ability. But, it's
dark when I wake up and dark
wayyyyy before bedtime. There
are times when I simply break
down and sob.
Having lived lo these hundred
years, I do know light is coming.
Yet, seems I have the patience
of a two year old!
I find that rather disappoints me!
