By Linda Carleton.
There is a promise that comes with the darkness of this season that keeps us going, the reassurance that whatever is going on in our lives and in our world, the light will return. This promise is echoed in the prophecies of the Hebrew Bible, including the title of this Reflectionary, from Numbers 24:17.
This card, based on the Flower of Life, bears the message I’d like to send to all of you:
May the light that arrives with this season fill you and all the world in the year to come.
