Journey from darkness
Towards radiance and light
Sacred unfolding

Welcome the twilight
Embrace the stillness of night
A new day awaits

The dawn of your soul
Acknowledges light and dark
Be the guiding light
~

My birthday heralds the change from darkness to light during the Winter Solstice. Every year, it’s meaning deepens. May we all embrace the light and dark within us and be a lamp for others.

Namaste
