May we utilize the serenity of this blessed winter season to journey deep within our own hearts.
May we search our souls for the perfected reflection of our true being.
May we release our differences into the chill of the evening air, watching the bias, prejudice and fear dissolve as effortlessly as breath.
May we each lay down our insecurities, our selfishness and our hostility.
May we discover a way to look into the eyes of those we admire least and recognize a cowering glimpse of ourselves hiding there.
May we lay down our weapons, whether they be guns or the violent words of anger and abuse.
May we feed the starving and frightened children of the world, changing their reality and future from despair into hope.
May women everywhere know safety, respect, equality and walk confidently without fear.
May the Elders be kept warm, well-fed and nurtured as we honor the vital wisdom they carry.
May the peace we long for within our own hearts be the beacon we follow into the darkness of chaos and confusion.
May that light guide us back to ourselves where the peace we seek waits patiently to be revealed.
Follow the source of the light and you’ll find that it comes from within you.
May peace, love, joy, perfect health and prosperity be your gifts.
May this be the year that humanity emerges from our complacent slumber and stand united with all of Creation in the Sacred Wheel of Life.
Happy, blessed Winter Solstice!
