⁂
Embrace the stillness
That has enveloped the land
Embrace the silence
That is unfolding within.
Allow the flames to thrive
In the depths of your heart
Keep the ancient songs alive
Inside your home’s hearth.
Walk upon the resting ground
Breathe in the freezing air
For a promise can be found
In the sacred winter prayer.
Sit with the darkness
Honour the slower flow
For Mother Earth’s slumber
Has great wisdom to show.
Return to simplicity
To make space for the light
Accept mortality
As synonym for life.
Today we grieve the death
of the Old King.
In gratitude, we let him spread
his golden wings.
Today we celebrate the birth
of the New King.
In gratitude, we welcome him,
A bright new beginning.
On the Solstice of Winter
We share generously
And together we gather
In love and unity.
On the Solstice of Yule
We stand still and hear
The heartbeat of all souls
In peace and harmony.
