Winter Solstice

A moment in time

Fleeting yet deeply impressionable

Void of worries, to dos, expectations

The golden sun warmed my skin

Against the melodious winter breeze

Held by the Earth

Surrounded by the trees

A pivotal point

Honoring the dark

Yet ushering in the light

Winter Solstice upon me

A junction in time

Ripe with Spiritual union

Overflowing with endless possibility

Honor the cycles of life

Revere life as Sacred

Connect with your Truth

Express yourself as freely as the birds

And so an altar was made

Juniper burned

Presence absorbed

Gratitude chanted

With Earth as witness

I release not believing in myself

Resting deeply in the subtle realms

Cutting ties with longstanding, worn out narratives and beliefs

The remnants of ritual reverberating

Juniper ash smeared on bear skin

Primal instinct kicking in

Seeds impregnated with courage, willpower, and inner knowing

You are capable of fulfilling your wildest desires

Your dreams are possible

You are the antidote

About the Creator

Ashlyn

My background is in Yoga & Ayurveda and that path has led me to the ancient spiritual teachings of the Celtic people, which I fully indulge myself in via books. Through journaling I find myself dropped into a deep space of limitlessness.
