Summer child,
My love extends to you during these darker days
First, know this –
To feel the outer landscape reflecting upon your inner one
Is entirely human
In fact, it is the universe mirroring its image back to itself
May the gifts of this season
Find their way through the cracks in your heaviness
And lift your spirit:
Clear crisp skies, impossibly blue,
Sunsets so fiery there can be no doubt the sun still shines for us,
Jewel-bright berries glowing in the woodland,
Waiting to deck our halls
May you offer yourself patience and kind understanding
May you get out into the cold air
Even just for daily sips
Trust me,
It will nourish you
May you find nestled inside the darkness itself
The light
Which cannot be expunged
The light
Which is the source of the sun itself
The light
Which is your source
May you remind yourself that
The earth herself is offering you a season to rest
To draw into yourself like the cloak of night
Light the fires within
And tend to your own hearth
And may you trust
That when the time is right,
Your spirit will lift its head
Sniff something in the air
Yawn, stretch, shake its fur
And lead you out, into the light
Of a new spring.
