My solstice eye imagines you,

seeing the winter moon rising

 in long dark mornings before new days.

I sense you feeling the edge of sun-warmth

on a cold-nipped, winter-blushed cheeks;

turning to keep the wind at bay,

wiggling toes and shuffling for warmth.

THANKYOU for being here!

As one snowflake is the beginning

 of child-delight screams on a winter sled hill.

Or one effort to kneel and meet the snow,  

transposes us to Snow-Angel elegance!

So, do, we, all, with each given part and step,

 by courageously showing up for each other,

create community here–spring’s seeds stirring

and equinox’s waters warming beneath our feet.

Celebrating us-all-beautiful-participants,

Warming one another, delightfully hygge!
