On this day of the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year, I encourage you to take a moment to pause and honor the close of another cosmic trip around our home star, the Sun.
The solstice marks a turning point, a reminder that even the darkest nights give way to growing light—a cosmic rhythm reflected in our own lives. So, when you find yourself beneath our vast canopy of stars, meteors, comets, galaxies, and nebulas this Christmas, remember your place is in the universe. Small yet infinitely a part of it, and intimately connected to it, like a point of light in a constellation. I invite you to find awe not just in the celestial objects above but in the quiet moments of self-awareness and reflection they inspire.
May this holiday season brighten your spirit in the same manner that the planet Venus’ luminescence currently commands our western sky at dusk. A brilliance that deepens your connection to the universe, and sparks wonder in the infinite possibilities ahead of you in the coming New Year.
Keep looking up. When you do, every moment holds its own stellar joy and serenity. The cosmos knows how to celebrate.
Wishing you clear skies, holiday joy, good tidings, and cheer!
