Winter Solstice 2020

A quiet nod to the turning of the seasons, 
the anticipated move towards the light and hopefully a kinder 2021.
Walking to connect, to escape. 
Walking to clear heads and steel hearts.
Breathing in the damp air, the decaying leaves and the wet earth.
A sublime and gentle light - giving a feeling of hope. 
2020 has been different - by anyone's standard. 
A year of fear and hope, a year of unity and division. 
One of confusion and sadness and a year of amazing courage and strength. 
Solstice blessings to you all, stay safe, here's to 2021 - may she be kinder than 2020.

    Well said Kate & along with many, I too hope 2021 will be better. Walking definitely helps me & I've come to realise that my sewing is also a stress relief exercise. Not done much this month, but once Christmas is over, I'll get back into it & my garden too. Take care, stay safe and huggles. Happy Xmas to you & family. .
