Happiness 12-22

Feel the stillness of light that moves gently into more … light. 

 

The wheel of the year turns and now, just when you might wonder whether it can get any darker, the days begin to lengthen as winter takes hold of nature. Although the cold may persist, the darkness does not. Light inexorably returns, minute by minute, so that the days lengthen to equal the nighttime by spring. We tend to regard stillness as unproductive, we measure time in terms of accomplishments, and we take light for granted. Try to feel stillness as being deeply present, and time as an expanding wheel of experience, and light as the happiness within you.
