Return Of The Light Most importantly the shortest and darkest days of the year also celebrate the return of the light. Details in Return-Of-The-Light-Bob Davis Podcast 1080. Their Celebrations Certainly we have our winter celebrations. Birth Of Light Above all they celebrate the birth of light. Human Race These days I think a lot about how old the human race is. And how these celebrations have evolved over the eons. Ancient That is to say they resonate with us because they are ancient. Old West Firstly when I am in the desert I think about the Old West. Secondly and perhaps more importantly there is evidence of the Spaniards here. And the Indians before the Europeans came. Even more there’s evidence of those who came before the Indians, who were immigrants to this region at one time too. And all the ancients. Standing On Their Shoulders We stand on their shoulders today. Difficulties Finally I’ve done some podcasts recently about potential economic difficulties. Future Dread The result has been some listeners and subscribers feeling dread about the future. Winter Rituals Give Us Hope However even when times are tough this winter celebration and ritual gives us hope. Picking Up The Pieces Because no matter what happens we’ll pick up the pieces and start again. Change Above all we don’t like change. Can’t Always Plan In fact we react to more than plan for setbacks and difficulties. Take A Breath On the other hand I think it’s fair to say we use these rituals at different times of the year to take a breath. To draw strength. And keep on keeping on. Message Of Hope Therefore here’s a message of hope for everyone. In conclusion things may get worse before they get better. We Make Sure But they always get better sooner or later. We make sure of that. Heavens Finally take a moment to join your ancestors this season and look to the heavens. Stars and Moon See the same stars, moons and planets they saw, going back thousands and thousands of years. Light and Hope On The Way And look for the signs of light and hope for the future.
