Yesterday was #SaintLuciaDay traditionally marking the darkest day of the year.
Often people want to point out that the solstice is only a week later. However, I think there is great wisdom in the fact that the darkest hour is not sensed at the peak of darkness - rather some time earlier - when we cannot grasp at all that light IS coming.
Personally, I have always liked the idea of #Hybernation not because I want to avoid the dark, rather because so many things are incubating! #catsofmastodon
