"Winter Solstice: At the Crossroads of Light & Darkness.
We stand now at the beginning of winter, when the days are short and the dark closes around us. It's a time for cleansing, for self-reflection and preparation. How do we let go of patterns and choices in our personal lives that have led us down destructive roads? What does it feel like when we choose courage, creativity, compassion?" Starhawk, 2019
As we all are on the brink of existential crisis, are we ready to embrace earth based spirituality and to let go of our self centered consumption?

Most mornings we walk along the Santa Fe River. Frenchy's Field has been planted with many crabapple trees. At this time of the year the small crabapples are wizened but stunningly beautiful natural ornaments. I feel these trees are a gift from Mother Earth and a reminder of all she gives us.
As we old people wake up from our sense of entitlement, taking without regard to what is "enough", may we experience the fear and outrage of the teenage movement led by Greta Thunberg and chart a new course. We are facing mass extinction of all living BEings, including us humans, on Mother Earth. Will we individually and collectively embrace once again loving and honoring our home, Planet Earth, now . . . immediately, like on 2019 Winter Solstice?

As we go deeply into ourselves to reconnect with what really matters, may we experience life altering discharge of held onto emotions in our physical bodies with a good focused belly
