today the sun rose at 7:26 am
and the sun set at 4:16 pm.
in between there was nothing more than
eight hours and fifty minutes of
"daylight".
but really, it was grey fog, sleet and slushy drips from the eaves.
what's a person to do?
plug in the LED tree lights
and the string of starlight!
light the candelabras at the window!
light the chandelier over the table!
cook up a festive supper with friends and family!
hope you had a chance to pause in the middle of the darkest time
and rejoice in the turning of the sun,
toward light and hope and renewal.
HAPPY SOLSTICE!!!!
oh so beautiful

That looks like such a warm and festive place to be. You can practically see the love:) That chandelier is amazing!
ReplyDeleteA metaphor for life, really. Whatever is happening outside the doors, we alone set the scene within. Fairy lights, firelight, friends and family. God bless.
ReplyDeleteThat looks fabulous Karen! I have to say my darkness-to-light moments during these past few days have been entirely internal — and I'm so thankful for them.
