Thank you, Colleen 🙂 I suspect, I may be truly pagan at heart… The Solstice really calls to me <3
Carrie, All the best to you and yours this holiday season. Here is a quatrain that I think you will enjoy by Ursula la Guin. She’s inspired me to write quatrains. It’s a hoot!
SOLSTICE
On the longest night of all the year
in the forests up the hill,
the little owl spoke soft and clear
to bid the night be longer still.
You are so right — Ursula LeGuin’s quatrain is lovely! Just a few nights ago, I thought I heard the little Eastern Screech Owl out our back door and a few houses away… Thank you for sharing this, and I wish you and yours a New Year full of peace and happiness.
Thank you.
I’m thinking about a Tom Peter’s quote. “Celebrate what you want more of.”
I like that…it strikes just the right chord when beginning a “new” year 🙂
