I can’t find a choir version where the singers are not ‘door-belling’ on the held notes, so we have to go with this one. :)

 

   On the shortest day of the year, the winter solstice, there’s a profound reason to be thankful for the light.

   Despite the long, dark nights, this day marks the turning point when the days begin to lengthen again, bringing a promise of brighter times ahead.

   It’s a moment to appreciate the return of the sun, to celebrate its warmth and life-giving energy, even in the midst of winter’s chill.

  This celebration transcends cultures, embodying hope and renewal.

   We are reminded to cherish every ray of sunlight, understanding that light not only illuminates our world but also symbolizes hope, knowledge, and the enduring cycle of nature.

 

Take care my readers, and enjoy the return to the Light while carrying your own. :)
