Today, December 21, is the Winter Solstice 2025. The first day of Winter.
The shortest day of the year and the longest night of the year.
For the next couple months, the sun sets earlier than we may want it to, the darkness surrounds us.
But yet, hidden in “the shortest day of the year” is “the days that follow will be longer”. The winter solstice marks the moment the light begins its return.
Even if we can’t feel it yet.
Even while the cold still holds.
The shift is real before it is visible.
The return of the light is true before it is warm.
Nothing has to be believed into being.
Nothing has to be earned.
The return of the light is not a promise we make to each other.
The return of the light is a promise the Earth keeps.
What quiet return are you willing to trust, even before it shows itself?
Happy Solstice
