the wide tent

sing, o barren one who did not bear; burst into song and shout, you who have not been in labor! for the children of the desolate woman will be more than the children of her that is married, says the lord. enlarge the site of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; do not hold back; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes. for you will spread out to the right and to the left... and your decendants will settle the desolate towns. isaiah 54:1-3

the darkest day of the year

i had a total stressed out freak out this morning, completely forgetting that it is the solstice, the darkest day of the year.... i was reminded by dear cate, in her lovely post today. thanks cate for reminding me what's important right now. i'm going to light a candle, remind myself of what is basic, let go of the stress, and remember that from this day forward, the light is slowly seeping back into our lives.
