Ahead of the winter solstice - and, of course, Christmas - our founder Ayaz Angus Landman reflects on the return of the light from the impossible darkness. A reminder that, with faith, the seeded self will bloom too.
"There is a circularity to this seasonal moment that comes just before we celebrate Christmas, a reminder of the miracles that are happening in the fertile dakrness. It brings me to thinking about the seed, the Christ Child, and the idea that the miracle of the seed comes from internal radiance driven by divine impulse, and, while it requires external conditions, the greatest authority comes from within."
The Christmas Carol
Planted deep in the soil of myself
I'm seeded to awaken to song
Beauty touches me,
Truth opens me.
And so it is in moments,
Through the impossible darkness,
A song of unimaginable tenderness
reminds me of who I am
With every blessing for a gentle and peaceful Christmas,
The Practice Rooms
