Solstice Blessings

Solstice ?By Jenny Mannion?12/21/21

The nights have been getting longer

Darkness making itself known

Past memories floating to the surface

Asking us to pay attention and be shown.

What we do with this perceived darkness?

Is truly up to each one of us

We can judge, suppress or resent it?

Throw a tantrum or make a fuss.

Or we can choose to embrace the darkness

Be guided by what it wants to show

Because it truly is only in seeing the past

That we can decide to let it go.

There has been so much separation

At times looking like fear truly has the win

But we can use that insight as knowledge?

Choosing differently than what has been.

We all have our own “stuff”

All of us have survived trauma and grief.

We all deserve kindness, love and support

To be allowed to have our own beliefs.

No one can truly know

Everything about someone else or the world.

We all are doing the best we can

As we watch what we thought we knew unfurl.?

We CAN choose to focus within.

That is where all our power lies.

We can say “yes” to inner work and unconditional love

Decide to see with compassionate eyes.?

The nights after today will get shorter

There is more light being allowed in

When we focus on that light and what is good

We set the stage for an inner win.

With love in our heart and confidence

We can inspire the world and others

We can begin to see the similarities

And all of us as sisters and brothers.?

We are a microcosm of the world?

And all that is burning away is to be reborn

Like the Phoenix before it rises from the ashes

We might be feeling exhausted and worn.

You might be feeling at the end of your rope

And be saying to heck with your tact

But remember everyone has had their struggles

Only you can choose how you react.

People respond to kindness

How can you brighten someone’s day?

We can all use some extra love right now

Even a small gesture paves the way.

Please be extra kind to yourself too

Remind yourself life still can be fun

Do more of what brings you happiness

When you ignite your soul love has won.

Happy Solstice to all

I am sending many blessings your way

I wish you joy, abundance and happiness

And peace in your heart every single day.?
