The Longest Night

Within darkness lies light, within light lies darkness. Light and darkness are two separate faces of the same truth. Opposites follow each other, intertwine, and give meaning to the moment of breathing in and out. You are in a constantly created Universe. You are in a flow where one breath merges with another. Giving meaning to the flow is possible through awareness.

Raise your awareness so that dark nights may guide you...

    "A meditative figure sits beneath a vast yin-yang cosmos in a serene, Studio Ghibli-inspired nightscape. Swirling stars and gentle forest shadows frame the eternal dance of light and darkness, reminding us that opposites are not enemies but intimate companions on the path of awakening..."    

Meditating silhouette in flowing robes sits in a lush forest clearing under a glowing yin-yang symbol made of stars and moonlight, Studio Ghibli anime style, deep blue night sky with swirling light trails.
Within darkness lies light, within light lies darkness. Raise your awareness so that the longest nights may gently guide you home. 𐩕 Now let us listen to Jan Richardson's poem "Winter Solstice: Blessing for the Longest Night": "All throughout these months as the shadows have lengthened, this blessing has been gathering itself, making ready, preparing for this night. It has practiced walking in the dark, traveling with its eyes closed, feeling its way by memory by touch by the pull of the moon even as it wanes. So believe me when I tell you this blessing will reach you even if you have not light enough to read it; it will find you even though you cannot see it coming. You will know the moment of its arriving by your release of the breath you have held so long; a loosening of the clenching in your hands, of the clutch around your heart; a thinning of the darkness that had drawn itself around you. This blessing does not mean to take the night away but it knows its hidden roads, knows the resting spots along the path, knows what it means to travel in the company of a friend. So when this blessing comes, take its hand. Get up. Set out on the road you cannot see. This is the night when you can trust that any direction you go, you will be walking toward the dawn." 𐩕
