Snow softens Ely’s rooftops where the Lantern towers,
Winter branches etch fine lacework through the quiet hours.

As we reach the shortest day and the longest night, we celebrate the quiet magic of the Winter Solstice. 🕯️ There’s a special stillness at the Refuge — you can listen closely to the birds welcoming the sun on its journey back to us.
Wishing you all a day of warmth, peace, and light.

If everything is only change itself—the seen, the heard, the felt, in this moment—then we ourself must be this change too.
Otherwise we are endlessly at a distance to ourself and cannot remain truly it: this moment, that everything is.

People have been marking winter solstice for a very long time. Some 7,000 years ago, the people who built Goseck in Germany aligned the site's entrances to face sunrise and sunset at this darkest time of year. An ancient honouring of the return of the light. (Pic © LDA Sachsen-Anhalt, Gert Pie)
