Winter Solstice. A Christmas Blessing to all my Followers and Friends.
It is the shortest day
When the night is at its darkest
But never forget that this only makes
The light when He appears at its brightest
These days before Christmas
Are like a held breath
The universe is waiting
For when the rosy cross is born anew
And the angels will sing in harmony
As love and peace arch across the heavens
The evening steals into the church
Attracted to the promise
Of light and dark in perfect balance
Like the mystic dance of the spheres
Never forgotten since genesis
And repeated for evermore in bliss
*****
The twenty-first of December this year found me in my local church of St.Mary’s in Old Town, Eastbourne in the UK. I decided to walk down there later on in the afternoon to see if I could capture the wonderful atmosphere within as it began to get dark outside.
The peace and stillness within this church at this time of day in the winter is something that I have always found to be extra special, as if you are being held in a close embrace. As it gets nearer Christmas, there is also a sense of anticipation that builds.
May I wish you all a peaceful and loving Christmas and New Year. Thank you to all of you who have supported me on Flickr and welcomed me with your friendship.
Sharing what we love to do creatively and what we experience has been a joy in itself for me. That you enjoy what I do astounds me every time. Thank you all, with all my heart, Shelley xxx
