Solstice Thoughts
An hour ago the long night ended. The cycle begins again and the light will slowly, ever so slowly return to our world.
We hold vigils and sing songs and say prayers to remind us that it is our job as beings in this world to strive and fight for the light within each other, for when we do this we stoke the light within ourselves so that when the darkness returns we have our own reserves to carry ourselves through it until the cycle can start again.

So take a moment and light a candle.
Help a friend in need.
Go listen to (or make) joyous music.
Or maybe do all of the above.
Find the light and help it grow.
We're going to want all the reserves we can get next year. It's going to be a year of fighting and frustration. But it is not without hope.

Also, in case you need some hope - people like this still exist in the world. This was recorded a year and a half ago. It brought me hope then, and the core message is still hella relevant now.
