Don’t you know yet? It’s your light that lights the worlds. ~Rumi~
I’ve been standing still with the sun for 24 hours on this auspicious high holy day, one of my favorite days as we turn around the sun…
~
singing light into the dark
connecting with the stillpoint of creation
surrendering to love’s cosmic hum
~
today, while standing still with the sun as we birth and nurture light and reflect and resound, a song from childhood echoes inside, This Little Light of Mine… And, yes, as the words direct, i’m gonna let it shine, shine on the old story burning it away leaving us free to draw down the power of the Cancer full moon and the Capricorn sun to be the new cosmic story…
while sitting in the dark with Hecate, goddess of the darkness, holding our hand and heart as we take this soulstice moment of deep pause for re-membering and clean-sing and re-joy-sing the moons of 2018, we see through shero’s eyes and 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
