we are compelled to bring back "Solstice"   click to view

tonight we ring in Winter... on this darkest of nights, the Solstice, we celebrate the coming of the light... In leu of anticipating what is coming To us, what we are to 'get,' I am feeling the question: what do I get to GIVE.... the light that is coming is OURS.

astrologer, Divine Harmony, writes about this season's Winter Solstice, click here to read the full entry.

an excerpt:

Symbolically and spiritually the solstices mark our life's journey through the light and the dark.  As we embrace the Winter Solstice it takes us to the depth of the shadow without and within as in the northern hemisphere it is the day of the longest night. As we move deeply into that darkness we emerge into a new cycle of light. This is a beautiful metaphor for the constant dance of energies in our own lives, to truly embrace and honor both our light and shadow.  This is the original meaning of wholeness which comes from holy or holiness: to be holy is to be whole.

and an excerpt from our beloved Northern Exposure, the LIGHT episode:

BON HIVER!
