Relative Something

Here we are again at the long darkness that marks the end of autumn and the beginning of winter in the northern hemisphere. I always marvel at how dramatically different the environment is after just a short few month’s time. Ah, but it’s all relative, isn’t it? I point out that time flies and time drags on, yet both perceptions reference the same speed of time passing.

This time of year, people gather for holiday celebrations and spread good cheer to friends, family, and strangers alike. Why doesn’t all this goodwill flow equally well during the rest of the year? I fail to see a reason.

May the coming days of increasing light bring you great joy and continual inspiration to live every moment to the fullest!
