Friends – during this time of year my faith heritage has visual images of darkness being pierced by light. It is truly reflective of the short days we experience in the winter season; waiting for the sun to finally rise indicating the day has begun. There is something very fundamental about light and the relief it can bring to say a dark room. Over time many poems and stories have been penned that refer to darkness and the light ahead. Light brings relief which can lead to a sense of peace.
May your traditions of the holiday season bring you peace!
And from my faith tradition – Merry Christmas to all!
