A Solstice Message

Solstice
- the longest night of the year

- the time we reflect on our innermost self

A time to recognized where we have failed:

- not taken the time to support one another,

- thought we were alone when Creator was waiting for our prayer,

- forgotten our best intentions,

and a time to relight our commitment:

- to help, to share, to pray, to show our love

- to recognize how our actions affect the interrelated web of

plant/animal/air/water/humankind

- so we provide a future for our children.
