Chanukah, Kwanza, or another winter holiday or
even none at all – If you celebrate Life, you are invited.

>> Why?
Because seasons cycle,
daylight wanes then brightens,
all life renewed by light & rhythm,
the insistence of an incessant star dance,
our earth on a tilted axis drawing a circle
around the sun, and the whirl of life revolves.
Because though we cannot solve a winter
mystery, we can discover our journey
connected to each other, lovers of
words and the art of the creative universe.
Because together we can light the world!
