21 December: Happy Winter Solstice

We Are the Centre of the Wheel

We are the Weavers,
as we are the woven ones.

We are the Dreamers,
as we are the dream.

May the longest night
bring tranquility and peace.
May its returning light

bring hope, and renewed life.
Embrace the long darkness –
it is dawn’s rebirth.

To those who celebrate it,
happy winter solstice.


Note: In Nordic countries, UK and Ireland, the winter solstice is a celebration of lengthening daylight and shorter nights. If you celebrate the day, Happy Winter Solstice to you!
