Today is solstice... the longest darkness of the year. And we are tired. This year it seems to be particularly dark. Maybe it's because of the house project we tackled this year has taken much much longer than expected. Maybe the 3 Gorges Dam has slowed the earth enough for us to notice and we really are a bit darker. Maybe an alien ship accidentally flew into the sun and bumped it a bit further away. I know it probably isn't any of those, but it feels as if the dark leaves later and creeps in earlier.
But today is the turning point! Slowly the light returns. Just another reminder that light (in the form of a baby) came to dark world and brightened it a bit. Slowly light spread over the world and that baby gave hope. I never want to forget or lose that.
