So we have turned back to the light. It felt significant that the Winter Solstice coincided with the fourth Sunday of Advent. Like the dark has been extra dark for so many this year, but we are being handed two little flames. The darkest hour comes just before dawn. There are gifts available at all times. 10 magpies having a family meeting in a tree just now. Looking up at the right moment to see a squirrel silently going on its way. The buds of next years leaves are there, hidden but present. More and more magpies, I wish I knew what they were talking about. Everyone’s gifts come in a shape that is unique to them. I hope you can spot some today. 💚✨
