The darkest time

These few weeks, from when the clocks go back, to the winter solstice, are the darkest time of the year. If you're at all prone to depression even on the longest sun-kissed days of summer, you're really struggling now. Not that I'm struggling all that much. I've been getting into "mindfullness" since early Covid days. That was when everything was locked down and you had nothing to do. Ergo, lots of time to think about nothing! Pure mindfullness! I am 100% focused on what's going on in my mind... which is nothing! But thank God, in just a few weeks the universe will shift gears, and the days will get longer again! Hope will send up fresh green shoots. The birds will come back from their winter holidays... The darkest time will birth spring, again.
