The Light of Winter

You hear people all the time talking about having SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). They miss the light of summer, and some fall into depression during the short days of winter. We tend to look for warmth and light in the outside world; and if that is our perspective, I suppose winter comes up short. The beauty of winter is that it sends us inward. If we can get beneath our own skin, our own flesh and blood, our own emotional response to life, we can find the place within that holds the Light that is our essence. The journey to access this light is much easier during the cold, dark days of winter. We are less distracted then than at more colorful times of the year. Take a break from the cold winter and find that place deep inside your own being. Let the Light radiate! Share warmth in your touch! Let light pour out through your eyes and in your words and bring hope to all you meet. Let your Light shine!
