Words of Reflection for the Winter Solstice

Prayer
Written By

After the one extravagant gesture (of the beginning),the universe has continuedto deal exclusively in extravagances,flinging intricacies and colossidown eons of emptiness,heaping profusions on profligacieswith ever-fresh vigor.The whole show has been on firefrom the word go.

I come down to the water to cool my eyes.But everywhere I look I see fire;that which isn't flint is tinder,and the whole world sparks and flames.

-Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker's Creek
