On this shortest day/longest night, it seemed fitting to send up hopes that whilst we’re enjoying the winter, the snow and the holidays, that “we can make the bright side even brighter”. (Staples, O. 2013, Life Is Conscious). Instead of a mere sliver, or crescent moon, it is my hope that we can bring the brightness in its entirety that is more like the full moon, and someday even the sun. Fitting, since after today it begins to return to us.

Enjoy (all) the holidays, and happy/healthy 2023, everyone.

Hugs, salutes, waves, high-fives and handshakes,
