the chamber at Newgrange I lit a candle to welcome the suns' rebirth.
for me it is the time of year to hibernate: to rest, to dream and to go inwards.
It is a time when I am often inspired with new images for paintings or form new connections to
older ideas. It is an interval when I read books, write in my journal or sit and reflect.

So until the green shoots appear I wish you all the blessings of hibernation.
May you awaken refreshed and renewed!

ReplyDeleteI used to go to cave between 25th until early jan when I lived back home.The few times I've been home over the last couple of years I have applied to be at Newgrange as I can imagine its an exceptional experience. It's strange being here at summer solstice and new moon when things are all anew and a live but wonderful. Lots of love to you both and toby xx
Thanks Grace - yes it must be strange for you especially as you have spent time back home recently.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time whatever you do.
Love to you both. X
