As daylight ebbs and darkness flows
And Arctic blasts set chill to bones.
We fend the charge with cheer and light,
Then celebrate the winter night!
(R Weisser 2012)
Well it’s THAT time of year again. Time to deck the halls and don our gay apparel.
The holiday season is upon us. And as we participate in the ancient rituals of our ancestors, we are doing something innately inbred in the human psyche.
It is our biological nature to mitigate the onset of winter with light and heat and stores of food! And while we may not do it consciously, it is a natural response to the change of the season.
We have deliberately attached our holidays to coincide with our instinctive urges.
And that fuels the spiritual furnace that burns deep within our beings.
It is not a dirge for an ending.
It is a celebration of a new beginning,
