Today in the Northern hemisphere we celebrate the Winter Solstice, that day of the great turning toward the light. Winter is my favorite season with her achingly beautiful spareness. I offer you some images from my time away below. Blessings on your own journey through holy darkness toward illumination.
More photos to come later in the week including a reflection about how to listen for the Word which might be calling to you for the coming year. Make sure to stop by “Give me a Word” and share yours for a chance to win an online class and to read the really beautiful reflections accompanying each submission – a great place for inspiration!

Christine, I am struck by the solitude all of your photos in Vienna reflect. I believe you are truly finding Sanctuary there (your word for the year). How lovely to be in a place of such beauty and able to observe it with your special sight! Blessed holidays to you!
