Happy Yule, Y'all! ;-)

here is a poem I wrote recently, in honor of this day:

HERE WE STAND


Deep below our feet, there is a fire burning,
feeding all living things that swim the dark ocean.
This is our Dragon Mother,
breathing fire, pulsing life.

High above our heads, there is a fire burning,
feeding all living things that look to the sky.
This is our Sun Mother,
breathing wind, spinning life.

Here we stand: fire below us, fire above us.
Rising from within the darkness
as a dream rises from sleep.
Take my hand, and let the fire flow through us --
A current of light, from heart to heart.

Light the candles and sing and dance.
Let us rejoice in light from darkness.
Let us rejoice in our own rebirth.

Absolutely beautiful!

And a merry Yule to you too:).

Yay!! The sun *did* rise again this morning

I had faith that it would, really... but you can't take any of these things for granted, you know...

Especially when you're waiting for the sun to rise so that you can open your pressies ;-)
