Since I learned through my meditation that I’m supposed to encourage other people to meditate, I’ve heard a number of excuses why someone doesn’t.

The Sun, source of light, love and
power in the universe
Whose radiance illuminates the whole Earth,

That they, too may do your work.

Welcome to the week of  winter Solstice, the darkest week of the year which we instinctually light up with festive lights and bonfires, and warm-hearted gestures.

“One moonless dark night, I had just curled up in my
