Someone posted this cute illustration on one of the social media sites this week, and it was perfect for the Winter Solstice, when the time is ripe for warmth and comfort and cuteness. Staving off the winter is best done through such sentiments, no matter how the weather rages or the wind burns. It brings to mind scenes of forest coziness, tales from childhood of animals that find their own homes and havens in the branches and boughs of crowded pines, or in the underground labyrinth of leaves and roots, where warmth is generated far beneath the fall of snow. Such scenes, in such close proximity to the wilds of winter, feel especially cozy because of their very nearness to the brutality of the season.
Nestling into the start of winter, we look to the stars for guidance, for hope, for the reminder that our closest star will begin her glorious ascent to the height of summer starting now.
