The longest night of the year
It is upon us once more
A time to celebrate the deep darkness
Even as we move back toward the light
It is okay to embrace this long cold night-like day
To relish this once yearly opportunity
Within this day of the winter solstice
Celebrate the warmth and the light from within
Embrace the yin yang character of a day filled with night
Sing aloud the joy of the new season
Yet watch for longing, attachment, aversion
And celebrate the depths of the soul
