Today is the day of the latest sunrise. Beginning tomorrow, we gain a few more seconds of daylight every morning.Evenings already have 16 more minutes of daylight than they did on December 7, the day of the earliest sunset. Beginning tomorrow, we gain daylight at both ends of the day. Glorious daylight.
In our darkest days, we keep practicing mindfulness, sometimes through sheer faith. Then our faith is verified as we see occasional glimmers of light resulting from noticing the serenity of the present moment. In this moment, the mind calms and a flicker of happiness gleams for half a second. Notice this mini-vacation from darkness.
Could we take a vacation in the present moment? A stay-cation of staying at home in the here and the now.
