Winter Solstice

 As we approach the shortest day of the year, it's easy to dwell on the darkness instead of embracing the solstice as the pause before the season turns toward Spring.  A good friend sent me the meditation below.  I thought it was worth sharing.

A Meditation for the Solstice 
by Christine C. Robinson, Senior Minister, First Unitarian Church of Albuquerque

Spirit of winter rest, help us to enjoy your peace in this quiet place.
Remind us to pause during this season.
Grant us awareness, keep our gratitude fresh each day.
May the songs in our heart be blessings and insights to us and to others
and may compassion always shine forth from the depths of our hearts.
