Illuminating Trees, Illumining Truths

Good morning!

 

We have a nice warm drizzling morning, some places even with green grass. Today is the winter solstice, with the longest night of the year.

 

We have a long tradition of illuminating trees, thinking of their new life coming back, with longer and brighter days to come back in the calendar as well.

 

We are fortunate to illumine the truth for our new life, from the long night of nescience to the longer and brighter days of delight to come forward in cultivation.
