It’s winter solstice, the shortest and one of the best days of the year. I’m not saying it’s my favourite day of the year but it’s up there with my kids’ birthdays and the day the local farms open their strawberry season.
It’s a hopeful day. Tomorrow will have more hours of daylight than today. The sun will return. There will be light and warmth. It feels particularly significant this year as we transition into our fourth season of COVID-19. We are weary but there will be light.
