In the middle of winter, it's hard to remember sometimes that light is
coming back to earth. However, despite the gray, cloudy days, we know that
soon, the sun will return. Keep this in mind during those dreary days when
it seems winter will never end, by invoking the four classical elements.
As the earth grows colder,
The winds blow faster,
The fire dwindles smaller,
And the rains fall harder,
Let the light of the sun
Find its way home.
A Prayer to the Earth at Yule
Just because the earth is cold doesn't mean there's nothing going on down
there in the soil. Think about what lies dormant in your own life right now,
and consider what may bloom a few months from now.
Cold and dark, this time of year,
The earth lies dormant, awaiting the return
Of the sun, and with it, life.
Far beneath the frozen surface,
A heartbeat waits,
Until the moment is right,
To spring.
