May this beginning in winter encourage solidarity that sustains an imagination to face the challenges and opportunities ahead of us. A blessed solstice to all!

Tonight is the longest night in the Northern Hemisphere. Even when the winter and the colder months will still be ahead of us, the days will slowly and surely get longer. Light will overcome darkness.
