` Winter Solstice `

` winter solstice`

December's wintery contentment clouding with glittering fractals,
trees resting in a white stillness
with a pure harmony of soft simplicity, embraced by the tittering silence of the dark solstice fullest influence, awaiting a convergent awakening of the winter’s release surrending to a rebirth of flourishing possibilities

~ Writer's Thoughts ~

The Winter Solstice is the time of ending and beginning, a powerful time — a time to contemplate your immortality. A time to forgive, to be forgiven, and to make a fresh start. A time of winter’s release surrending to a rebirth of flourishing possibilities.

“The winter solstice has always been special to me as a barren darkness that gives birth to a verdant future beyond imagination, a time of pain and withdrawal that produces something joyfully inconceivable, like a monarch butterfly masterfully extracting itself from the confines of its cocoon, bursting forth into unexpected glory.” — Gary Zukav
