Two days past Winter Solstice. It’s not raining and there is more blue sky than gray today. The sun is already making its decent. It casts its last rays onto the tops of the cedars outside my window turning their green branches a bright chartreuse in just a few spots.

The dark with the light.  It’s life.  It’s always this way.  Two days out of the year we have equal dark and light.  Otherwise it’s more of one or the other.  The cedars are more deep green or more chartreuse.  But always a bit of both.  

For those having a hard time on this Christmas Eve Eve, remember that the lighter days are coming.
