“That’s how the light gets in” – Winter Solstice 2010
“Moon, Venus & Jupiter” Taos, New Mexico, c. 2009 Heidi Straube
December 21…Winter Solstice…When the sun shines the least, and the darkness is longest.
I intended to write an article today about darkness vs. light, rebirth and hope, new beginnings and prosperity — many of the themes of the rituals and celebrations associated with the Winter Solstice.
But in the refrain of his song poem, “Anthem” Leonard Cohen captures the essence.
Like any good art, it needs no interpretation or expansion.
Listen…in your heart…it is for you.
“Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in
That’s how the light gets in
That’s how the light gets in”
