The longest night

It's December 21st. The Winter Solstice. People all over the world are celebrating and honoring this auspicious day. I have honored it in my own way - by being very quiet and listening to the strong vibrations of the universe. They have much to tell us. Stories as old as time. We've forgotten what we once knew. But now is the time to remember. To heal. To wake up. To acknowledge the beautiful fabric that we are all a part of.

I will meet up with friends tonight to stretch together on our yoga mats, dance, sing, pray and enjoy all the many blessings we share.

Namaste
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti

Baby It's Cold Outside

The rain falls in buckets and sheets
The mountains light up
with the lightning's dance
The thunder shakes my soul

Suddenly the rain turns to snow
Fat white flakes falling
softly turning
Sticking to my coat
and the car windshield

We hurry home
Bellies full of delectable food

We tuck in for the night
and hold each other tight

We awake to thick ice and snow
car doors frozen shut
We scrape and scrape
The crisp air
and sunshine
caressing our faces

Beautiful is the morning

We go for breakfast
Steaming eggs and roasted coffee
And a stroll through town

Our lips linger
As we say goodbye
