[…] past few years I’ve been heavy on the ‘longest night’ part of reflecting upon life’s unfolding during the winter solstice. So herein I am pondering […]

I am glad you had a good year Laura. Sometimes the sadness can appear out of nowhere, but sadly there is such a lot of turmoil on the planet. Let us hope for positive change.

Last year was a difficult one for me, too. I felt such sadness about events in the world and about how people in my personal life were treating each other. I don’t keep Morning Pages anymore but I’m sure mine would have expressed confusion and despair. However, I agree with you that God wastes nothing, so I believe things will be getting better. We’ve all learned some lessons, haven’t we?

In reply to Andy.

And I’ve come a little late in the responding to your comment, Andy. Just got back from our coast to coast trek to see the Rose Parade in Pasadena (last year’s was much better, BTW, but still a treasure to experience) wherein our 2003 Camry turned over 400K miles!
Anyway, yes, there is beauty in ashes always – however the process of becoming ‘ashes’ is very difficult. Sadly, many in our country are literally experiencing that in the aftermath of the Paradise, CA wildfires.
All that to say, I found it interesting reading your post on travel (with references to the latest terror incident at Victoria Station – sigh) in relation to our own recent cross country trek!
Yes, I’m enjoying my blogging break –
🙂
Happy 2019, Manc bud.

I’ve come a little late to your solstice post. Things are still a little dark, both in terms of the season and metaphorically, but it’s now a new year and I think we can find balance. Sometimes though it’s the negative things that are given prominence.
A few hours before midnight there was another terror incident at Victoria Station, metres away from where the Arena bombing took place, with three stabbed before the attacker was subdued. Sometimes, with the year passing, it seems ‘same old, same old’ but there’s moments of beauty, too.
I hope you’re enjoying your blogging break. I don’t break, but these days my posts seem shorter. I still like to ‘check in’ with people though.
Wishing you a Happy New Year, and, as always appropriately, ‘Peace’.
Andy

In reply to Heather.

Thank you, Heather! I hope you get to enjoy all the holidays have to offer – and don’t get too put out when Dizzy decides not to share her Christmas bounty with you!
I’ll see you later…

Indeed, this was a really tough year throughout the world. Non-stop drama on steroids. And yet, as you put it so perfectly, there is still hope for all of us. Enjoy your blogging hiatus!
