I sent this message on Winter Solstice one year ago. An invitation to abide in unconditional Presence. To engage the topsy turvy world from this Loving Knowing. To Be the Light we are. This Solstice morning I am moved to share it again.

Opening ourselves to the suchness of this moment, to the vibrant alive stillness beyond thoughts and concepts, we realize in the depth of our being, we are already whole—we are already one with the timeless essence of all life.
Opening ourselves to our world, we find we are living in churning, whirling, unravelling times. In such times it becomes ever more important to rest in, and draw upon, fathomless, timeless, dark radiant source for strength, courage, and renewal.
To remember vastness—and beauty. To know all things, including the painful and difficult, are lit from within by undivided light.
The world that is dreaming itself into existence beckons us to let our collective hearts be broken open, so we may find our way to co-create a culture of love. The future is calling upon each of us to be a wise and compassionate ancestor. Let us answer the sacred call with a resounding "Hineini!"—I am here! Come what may I am here! Present. Unconditionally. In my wholeness and brokenness, I stand in Love.
Blessings of Solstice,
Holy Darkness, Holy Light—
Ev'rything Holy
