The Magic of this Day

Winter Solstice, and the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, the closest that the two planets have been aligned since 1226.
"Winter solstice gives birth to a verdant future, a time of withdrawal that produces something joyful, like a monarch butterfly extracting itself from its cocoon, bursting forth into unexpected glory." — Gary Zukav
Affirmative prayer: “I am grateful for the magic of this day, this season. I am paradoxically blessed by the brightness of two stars, two lights merging, on the longest night of the year. How good to know that, even in dark times, the Universe has a sparkle, and always offers illumination and guidance. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.” – Rev. Scott
