In the winter sun

Winter solstice - it is the darkest time of the year. Yet, the winter sun shines ever so powerfully once the clouds and fog have dissolved.

Sometimes the sun is not seen for many days, weeks - or even month, up in the far north. We are longing for the light, missing it desperately, or waiting for it patiently and with anticipation.

We need the light so fundamentally, yet we also need the darkness, the absence of light.
But even in the darkest night we are stunned to see the light of the stars.

Walking in the woods I most often follow the light - it nourishes my soul, it is a holy presence, the presence of the holy.

In winter time, during many dark hours, we are reminded of the preciousness of the light.
Let´s go outside in the winter sun and take it all in.

This is a little intuitive song recorded in the brightness of the winter forest.
