Winter Solstice 2021


Dark anticipation

Early evening shadows

Foreshadowing misty cold 

New birth, new life


Baking of bread

Wondrous smells

Butter melting slowly

Mouths rejoice


Lookin forward not backward

Singing, “Ho, to the life of a Bear!”
Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, too

Only Eeyore is still struggling


Charlie Brown’s Christmas

Hanukah’s bright candles

Omicron’s attendance 

Intervening in our plans


What shall we do?

How shall we act?

Let’s huddle in the basement

Until the wondrous winds die down


When we come out

Seeing a fresh blanket of new snow

Slightly dazed in the glare

Shiny sparkles releasing


I’ll meet you there

Where the sun beams with joy

On the snow, on the children

Birds singing loudly


When we get too cold

We retreat to the dark to sleep

Cuddled together, dreaming

Magically, divining our life’s work


Meaning and purpose

Good hearted cheer

The days getting longer 

Such happiness here!


Then, all of the sudden

The moon shines her face

On all of us creatures

Awe struck and witnessing


Creating, Rebirthing ourselves

Joining all of our hands together

Delighting in the warmth

Of community and heart


All blessings flow
