Into the dark, into the light

Last December, when I went to buy my new agenda book for the coming year, I was disappointed to find that the one I had used for years and years was no longer available. So I scoured the shelves at the bookstore until I found a suitable alternative - the right layout, sturdy. Hmmm, I thought, the cover is a bit dark. True, but dark. I had no idea a year ago just how dark, or how true:

As we approach Solstice, and the longest night (and - joke for Yukoners - the loooooooongest morning) of the year, we have almost made it to the other side. My hope is that we can all look forward to the return of the light, and look back at the points of light in the darkness of 2020, with gratitude and peace and hope.
