It is said that on Christmas day the light comes into the world. This is the time of the winter solstice - the days are getting longer again. The light - that was in earlier times the flame. It also provided warmth in the dark and cold winter days. It was a soft light in a quiet time in which nature and also people rested.
It is also an occasion to think of the people who live in the dark - the persecuted, the hungry, the oppressed, the abused...
Christmas might be an occasion to provide more light in the world...
I wish you all a merry Christmas and many fulfilling moments.
Such lovely words and a delightful and well thought image for the Season. My heartfelt wishes to you Jerome, for a restful and peaceful Christmas. Take care.
Wow Jerome. Beautiful photo rivaled only by your beautiful words and sentiment. It only takes one to make a change. We sit it on the news. I try to always encourage others to recognize the change can be the light. Even if it’s only one light, it can change the world. Thank you so much and white light to you this Christmas.
Thank you for your nice comments!
Thank you very much for the many good wishes for Christmas! It touches me a lot. A warm, empathetic heart - it's the greatest gift in the world.
