A Solstice Blessing
May you mark the return of the light by remaining receptive to the dark.
May you dwell in Kairos time to sense the Other-worlds present with and within you.
May you invite mystery and imagination to guide you through uncertainty.
May you expand your capacity to be with discomfort and failure, and welcome the alchemy of this process.
May you resist the urge to fix and instead, allow your own messiness to transform.
May you go deep into the darkness and rather than entering a tomb, prepare to emerge from the womb.
