I think it’s an exceptionally difficult time to be a human.
People are really struggling.
We were running on empty before, then emergency reserves, then fumes and now? Who knows how we keep going.
In the face of corruption and greed and violence.
In the face of planetary destruction and no response by the powers that be.
As we live paycheck to paycheck until illness bankrupts us.
The December blues are in my bones.
I fill our days with Merry and Bright to stave off the Darkness.
Lighting handles, hanging holly, feeling anything but jolly.
I know I am not alone.
So I light another candle to keep the Darkness away.
To keep the Darkness at bay.
I wish you comfort and coziness. May you know that isolation is a lie for we are all connected. And this great despair that fills the air makes this an excruciating time for the tender-hearted.
You are not broken. And you are loved. By me and others.
And I promise, the light will return.
