Held in the deep darkness of the longest night
I call out in despair
“Oh, where is the light?’

A voice whispers gently in my ear,

“My Beloved, my joy and my delight,
The light is in you, the light is you,
as is the dark and
all that was and is and is to be.

You are the answer to your questions.
You are the gift,
the one no one can give save you.

Bring your light that
is born of the rich darkness.
Bring your love gift.
The world awaits.”

I thank each one of you for bringing your light into my world and the world at large. At this time of darkness, we need the light to help each other find the way. May your light shine bright in this coming year.
