On the 20th December 2014, washed out and exhausted by the years farm work, I was treated to a day in a spa. I had held so much, spun so many plates, as we all do... I drove home feeling rested at last, with some semblance of the possibility of renewal. On the journey home this song came through the dark and mist.
The plates kept on spinning and it took 2 years to find time to record it, (and another 7 to add the finishing touches!)
We are all so busy. Our many plates continuously spin. But we can take time to walk away, to breath, to watch the clouds passing, to listen attentively to a child, to call friend. The plates do not all come crashing down. Well not all of them anyway.
Wishing you all a very peaceful restfull time this midwinter. Whatever space you can get to connect with yourself, may you revel in it and come out ready for all that is to come.

Lyrics
Oh winter solstice I'm glad you have come
my body is tired from all that Ive done
I'll rest here a while in your deep winters night
Revived and renewed I'll awake with the light
The dark I'll not fear, I'll slumber so deep
Oh clarity, wisdom, strength come while I sleep
I'll wake with the dawn so vital and fresh
And know at this time it was right that I rest
Oh light come in gently oh light come in slow
oh light come in show me all that I will know
I'll wake with your dawn, full of peace, full of rest
And know at this time, to slow down was the best.
Oh winter solstice we’re glad you have come
our bodies are tired from all that we’ve done
We’ll rest here a while in your deep winters night
Revived and renewed we’ll awake with the light
The dark we’ll not fear, we’ll slumber so deep
Oh clarity, wisdom, strength come while we sleep
we’ll wake with the dawn so vital and fresh
And know at this time it was right that we rest
Oh light come in gently oh light come in slow
oh light come in show us all that we will know
we’ll wake with your dawn, full of peace, full of rest
And know slow down at this time was the best
