Guest guest Posted December 21, 2002 Report Share Posted December 21, 2002 I wish everyone from every land and from every religious tradition a happy and holy Solstice. Here are a few prayers in honor of the event, from a book by David A. Johnson: We rejoice in the radiance of the turning season As we kindle out flame. Light is a symbol of creation, And of hope, Of law and justice, Of warmth and unity. It is a symbol of remembrance. When the deepening shadows and cold of winter come, Let us remember how we walked In autumn's bounty and colorful glory. Let us gather in the warmth and light We kindle in our hearts and lives, To last the winter through. We rejoice in the winter light, Warming and heartening the Earth. We rejoice in the light of the mind Which makes plain the path before us. we rejoice in the light of the heart Which makes all our pilgrimages one. We rejoice in all thy gifts Which brighten the world and our lives. ===== Sister Usha Devi Founder, Divinely Female and worshipper of the Sacred Flame that shines inside every woman Mail Plus - Powerful.
