We just experienced the winter solstice on December 21st, marking the shortest and darkest day of the year. This brings with it a beautiful reminder—despite the darkness, the promise of light lingers on the horizon. As the solstice passes, the daylight gradually stretches its reach, promising longer, brighter days ahead.
It’s a subtle yet powerful reassurance—just as the sun begins its slow return, so does hope. This celestial event teaches us about life’s natural cycles. In the depths of the shortest, darkest day, it whispers a reminder that brighter moments are inevitably on their way.
And in this rhythm of nature lies a parallel with the act of creativity. Engaging in creative pursuits is akin to embracing this promise of returning light. Whether it's through painting, writing, playing music, or any form of self-expression, creativity illuminates our days. All through this holiday season, my family and I have been enjoying all of these artistic expressions and it has filled us with joy, laughter and LOVE!!
Creativity becomes our personal solstice, radiating warmth and purpose into our lives. It’s a beacon of positivity that nurtures our spirits, guiding us through moments when things seem dim. Just like the solstice heralds the coming of brighter days, creativity offers a similar transformation within us.
It's about acknowledging the potential for growth and renewal, finding solace in our ability to create, and embracing each day as an opportunity to infuse light into our lives and the lives of others.
So, as we move forward from this celestial moment, let’s carry the essence of the solstice within us—holding onto hope, embracing creativity, and welcoming the increasing light that brightens our journey through life.
