What do you hope to remember?
Night came on fast as I drove East on the Winter Sostice, the shortest day of the year. On the long stretch of highway that connects my past and my present, it dropped down on me like a curtain and I was reminded that in 2011, I had lots of time to wander around in my own darkness. I had lots of time to sit in silence. And I learned how to call upon the light even when everything else seemed ensconced in shadows.
I picked today's prompt from Kaileen Elise's website. I really needed a prompt that would help me remember yesterday and poof--there it was!
Gifts of light from my downstairs neighbors.
I oftentimes think how much the world would change if we, each and all, gave ourselves the space to sit in darkness for a while, to dip into silence and allow it to just BE within us instead of rushing to fill the silence with meaningless noise.
Brava for finding the way....

freedom comes from sitting in the darkness.....it takes courage but when one takes on this endevor the light shines!

@Julie, exactly. My goal for 2012 is less meaningless noise.
@Dragongly--That's what I'm shooting for, anyways! :)
