<p>Greetings to my companions on the journey for love and blessings in the coming year.</p>
<p>- Margaret</p>
<p><em>This is the time of harvest, of thanksgiving and of leave-taking and sorrow. Life<br />
appears to decline. The season of barrenness is upon us, yet we give thanks for<br />
that which we have reaped and gathered. The end of a cycle has come. We enter<br />
our resting season. The seed now begins its time of gestation in the rich dark<br />
earth. It is the great cold of night; not the negative images of darkness, but<br />
the dark richness of that unknown, fertile, deep part in each of us where our<br />
intuitive creative forces abide. The Christ energy enters the earth at this<br />
season. The Yule log is lighted. The nights grow shorter, the light returns, and<br />
we experience rebirth.</em></p>
<p><em>Wendell<br />
Berry</em></p>
