mirroring nature
standing still like the sun
silently dreaming
~
i love this moment when all of nature surrenders as we welcome winter and the return of the light bidding farewell to darkness and for a moment of sacred pause we stand still and reflect on this turn around the sun and the ways we have served the web of life, the ways we are called to release to make room for new seeds of intention we are invited now to plant as we draw down the the new moon’s energy into the watery womb… yes, a perfect moment of sitting in the inner light, the sol, the soul on this shortest day and longest night for northern hemispherians, a perfect moment of sitting in the dark with Hecate, goddess of the dark fecundity, holding our hands and hearts as we take this soulstice moment of deep pause for re-membering and clean-sing and re-joy-sing the moons of 2017… seeing through shero’s eyes, we realeyes what we experienced as disappointments, obstacles, challenges all carry a seed, a gift for us to unwrap,,, a present that delights and surprises pointing the way to be peace, love, joy and harmony…

To the Four Winds and the Four Corners of the Earth
To the Falling Rain and the Fire in the Sky
I call on you in Deep Respect and with Great Gratitude.
I call upon you to Support, Guide and Protect
all who receive this prayer.At this time of quiet and stillness
When the Light of the World is dim
And the Darkness around us deep
May we be still and listen for the silent sound of the
seed of IlluminationThat lives, always, within our heart and soul and mind.
May we seek now to awaken to more of the Light within.
For in the dark even the dimmest light can be seen.
In darkness, the faintest flicker of light
Is enough to guide us and show us the way.
May the inner light we now rekindle burn strong and bright.
May it expand and grow throughout the coming year
And may we continue to see, feel, share and
shine our inner lightInto the World
Even as the outer light returns.
And so it is!
Edward Mills
