In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
Albert Camus

Saturday, December 21, 2024, the Sun paused its southward journey across the Tropic of Capricorn’s stars. After a moment, the Sun reversed course. For Earth’s northern lands, the Winter Solstice finished the year’s longest night. For the next six months, sunlit days lengthen. Insights on this celestial turning point include,
that each day forward is blessed with more light.
That the cycle of nature, unbroken and true,
brings faith to your soul and well-being to you.
Rejoice in the darkness, in the silence find rest,
and may the days that follow be abundantly blessed.
— Unknown
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
