The last month of the year is here. On many levels things are drawing to a close. It’s winter here in the northern hemisphere, and the darkness is still increasing. Finding the light can be harder at this time of year. But if you’re looking for those sparks, you can find them. The early morning light gilds the bare trees. The midday light, at winter slant, hits windows creating flares of glare. The stars twinkle ever brighter in the deep navy night skies. The gloaming stretches long creating a hazy glow all around. And if you close your eyes, and breathe into your heart center, you can feel, see, know the flame at your center that is the flame of all life.
