The Longest Night...

Dear Friends,

This is the day following the longest night, the solstice. All over the world, people have marked the passage into the darkest night and shortest day with ritual and awe. In the Christian faith, Christmas is the celebration of the Light coming into the darkness.

No matter how dark your days may be right now, know this: at the moment you immerse yourself into the darkness, when you no longer want to push the darkness away, but you fall deeply, deeply into it - the light begins to shine.

As long as you keep running away, you will not see the light. However dark your pain, your sorrow, your sadness - fall into it - and know the light that emerges.

Warmly,
meb
