Some celebrate the winter solstice as a time of quiet rest . . . getting ready for the rebirth and energy that Spring will bring.  The long days are a chance to look inside, taking stock of personal goals and ideas . . . a time for nurturing one’s inner self and a long sleep of sorts.  It is a time of home, comfort foods, renewing friendships and family ties, strengthing love and commitments.  All the world seems to take a deep breath and slows down. We hear an echo of “Peace” if we just stop long enough to listen in silence.
