Upon the longest night of the year, our God is re-born from the slumbers of death. He brings with him the sacred light by way of the Sun. And from this moment forth the fertility of the land is once again restored. And so too are the fertility of fresh thoughts and new goals introduced into our hearts and souls. Our spirits cherish this moment of his birth for it is a time to shed the chains of the experiences past and to surge forth with a renewed purpose in our lives. The birth of our Sun God is an affirmation that life goes on and that the door to spiritual growth stands wide open.
Perhaps more understanding will bring more peace. I've vaguely known about some of this for a long time. It's good to know more about it.
And I've learned more from Adam Sandler about Judaism, than from the little I've read. It is intriguing how many of the stories/parables from each overlap with other religions.
hhmmmm.. suggestions for winter reading? I wish I could remember the name of a book I read last year. Historical novel type of thing.. a woman born in Greenland, of a Nordic father and indigenous mother.. Catholics were also there. Very interesting reading.. just cannot bring up the name or author.. most of our books are still in boxes.
