Light out of darkness. Long, dark nights are giving way to lighter, longer days. Longer daylight causes seeds to germinate. Light shines into our lives physically and inspires us spiritually. We just experienced the unfailing light of Hanukkah and the growing light of the Winter Solstice. We even had light in the night with a full moon at Christmas. Now the lights of Kwanzaa focus on Unity, a light for our souls. All kinds of holiday lights sparkle in the dark evenings. I am opening to the light. I want to invite light into my life in the form of my higher self, my higher consciousness. This is a rich time of filling ourselves with literal and metaphorical light.
"The winter solstice triggers a time in which the Inner Light is kindled in spite of outer darkness. It is a time to give birth to and awaken the higher self. If celebrated properly, spiritual impulse is born anew within us, adding light and strengthening the love principle within our life."
