For many people, this time of year is marked by waining light, hence all the celebrations! The dark days can be hard. We don’t have it as bad as some, but, the days are shorter here in Maine in December than where I grew up, and a lot shorter than those in New Mexico (where we spent 10 yrs).
Its not all bad.
The stars are amazing!
Nights spent cozy around the fire reading books or drawing; I long for those on the hot July days!
But, when you’re driving home from school and its dusk….that’s a little trippy!
Lucky for us northern dwelling humans the light comes back as fast as it leaves us so its not long that we must wait; though it may seem that way some days….
So, here’s to the dark, the light and everything in between! Surrender to it all we must and it would be wrong any other way….Doesn’t mean we can’t complain a bit about it!!
