Love

For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, today marks the Winter Solstice. This is the time of
“in between”, a pause, as we reflect on the year we just lived together and the year that lies
before us.

Many of us will be gathering together with our friends and family for holiday dinners. A few
years ago, I was invited to dinner by two very good friends and the love of their lives. One
couple lived in the US and the other couple in Sweden. As we enjoyed our meal, I asked the
couple to tell me their love story of falling in love. I watched as their eyes brightened and their
smiles broadened while they told me their love story, leaving me basking in love’s light.

This for me, is at the center of the pause, Winter Solstice brings. In between, the year we lived
and the year we will be living is the stillness that comes before darkness brings forth light.

I hope love expands as does the light, illuminating all we have been and can be alone and
together.

Happy Holidays!
