Winter Solstice: Reveling in the Darkness
In the midst of the Season of Lights is the Winter Solstice which the shortest day and the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. Nature invites us to revel in the dazzling darkness and we will explore what important lessons the ancient wisdom of this time may have to teach us.

From Monthly: "Mystery"
Let's consider that we live in a generous and grace-filled world of Mystery. "I think it’s much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything. There are many things I don’t know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask, “Why are we here?” I might think about it a little bit, and if I can’t figure it out then I go on to something else. But I don’t have to know an answer. I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose – which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell." ~ Richard Feynman
