Solstice is the longest night, but also a sign that brighter days are coming. We're so busy with holidays, but it's also a time of hibernation and renewal.
I wrote a little poem to go with the beautiful picture...
Hibernation
Safe in the arms of silent snow Night blankets us in hidden earth Like roots than cling in the ground below
Books read by sleepy lips stitch us to the dormant page like the frozen wax of a candle’s drip
