Winter Solstice

Into darkness we plunge as winter draws itself over us. Soon we reach the apex of a dying year in a single night as it lengthens past all other nights—the Solstice. In our deepest hush we are given pause to reflect.

NOTES
Cedar, Frankincense, & Pine.

QUESTION
In an earth’s quiet night, how shall we comfort and renew each others’ hearts?
