Winter Solstice

PictureBreaking Blues in Winter
​How do you feel about the shortest day and the longest night of the year?
Waking up in darkness and sunsets by 4:30pm,  if we get any sun at all, pushes my energy inward.  It’s a time of deep reflection and personal introspection.  A good time to learn more about our fundamental nature and essence.  It’s also a time of family, social gatherings and celebration.  I try to be Danish and create a little “hygge” in my home with candlelight, logs in the fireplace, a cozy nook with lots of books and warm blankets to wrap up in.  If I could hibernate I would.  Which also means I don’t get a lot of art making time in.  And that’s ok.  Absence makes the heart grow fonder right?  When I finally get back to my studio in January I hope to bring a refreshed creativity and sense of wonder to my art practice.   I hope you find your light too!
“The winter solstice has been seen as a significant time of year in many cultures, and has been marked by festivals and rituals. It marked the symbolic death and rebirth of the Sun. The seasonal significance of the winter solstice is
​in the reversal of the gradual lengthening of nights and shortening of days.” Wikipedia 
Merry Christmas, Hanukkah Sameach!, Kwanzaa blessings to you and yours, lo, Saturnalia!,  and Happy Holidays, 
Axo

Winter Solstice arrives in the Northern Hemisphere at 12:19 am on Sunday, December 22.
