Happy Winter Solstice and a Joyous Yule to everyone! This article was printed the other day in the Baltimore Sun, and I found it really inspiring, so I'd like to share it with you:

Before solstice arrives, honor the dark
By Patricia Montley
December 20, 2007

Twice a year there is a moment - in fact, a few days - when the sun seems to "stand still" in the heavens. From the Latin sol stasis we derive our name for these events: solstices. In our calendar, they mark the beginning of winter and summer. This year, at 1:08 a.m. on Saturday, the sun will stop its retreat from those of us who live in the Northern Hemisphere. It will begin its return to us, and the hours of light will lengthen each day until the summer solstice in June.

Before we celebrate the waxing of the light, however, we would do well to honor the dark. On this longest night of the year, let us sit silently with those we care about in whatever darkened sanctuary we find most comforting - be it family room or church or starry clearing in the woods - and think about the importance of darkness.

Let us take time to acknowledge the gifts that darkness gives us, from the potatoes and carrots and beets that grow underground to the mushrooms that thrive in the dark.

Let us give thanks for the dark oven where dough rises, for the rich earth where seeds germinate, for the deep cellars that keep us safe from tornadoes, for the warm wombs that provide our first nourishment, for the quiet caves that harbored our ancient ancestors.

Let us bless the darkness that soothes us to sleep and the darkness that animals require for hibernation.

And let us accept the darkness of suffering that can deepen our appreciation of life and strengthen our connection to one another. Let us even embrace the dark night of the soul that prepares us for the rising of the spirit.

The dark is scary. Every child knows this. But it can also be richly mysterious, deeply comforting, profoundly rewarding. For, as the poet Wendell Berry reminds us, in order to know the dark, we must enter it without light and without sight. Only then will we find that the dark, too, blooms and sings, and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings

Welcome to this amazing community, Mirabilis, it's great to have you here :-) Yum, foods that begin with A ~ avocado, my favourite! Asparagus, delish... artichokes, mmm-mmm! What else? Help me out!

You'll find that there are many wonderful souls here with so much to offer & inspire us. I hope that you’ll feel moved to participate in the forum discussions, the groups & the Chat Room, they’re all part of the life blood of this community & are what really sets it apart! Looking forward to watching your page blossom & to getting to know you. Check out the groups I belong to (via my page), there are several there that I know would interest you.

I'm curious to know how you heard about this community? I did through Chris via MySpace. Hope you'll be able to bring your friends over here! We still want to get lots more people to sign up. Did you know that the mere number of members affects the level of corporate sponsorship VegHaven gets? And because ad revenue goes to worthy animal causes (that the membership themselves vote on) just by signing up you get to make a difference for the animals in need, regardless of how active or not you choose to be within the community. But of course, once you get here, it's too fun not to dive in, there's so much going on!

Blessings of Light & Laughter to you & your loved ones xox
