The Solstice is the time of year when the Sun Stands Still, balanced at the point between the longest night (northern hemisphere) and longest day (southern hemisphere). It is a time to reflect and let go of the past, and rejoice and look forward to the future.
Stand Still, reflect on the cycles of change, participate in the joy as endings become beginnings and back again.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the time of Winter Solstice is near. Darkness continues to expand its influence, yet the light of the Sun will soon return to renew our spirits and give us hope for brighter times.
In these holiday times (what I call the Hollow Daze), the focus of many is on acquiring material objects and stuffing their stockings and themselves. I choose to reflect on the darkness, and the Light emerging within.
