With the waning of the sun and the coming of a long night, our Christmas culture always seemed counterintuitive to me. There’s a lot of pressure to get things accomplished at work (to earn the rest of the Christmas break), to run around buying and wrapping gifts, overbook yourself with social activities, etc. As someone who is in tune with Earth, I want to do the exact opposite. I want to slow down to a complete stop, feel the stillness of the winter air, and be quiet enough to hear the coming of a new dawn.
Ah! so now you add poet to your list of accomplishments. I enjoyed this expression of your true nature very much. I think I shall be a mockingbird and sing all of the songs of nature. Hmm, there might be another poem nesting there.
