The Return of the Light
Saturday marks the Winter Solstice, Sunday is the start of Hanukkah, Wednesday is Christmas Day, and Thursday Kwanzaa begins ~ what a week for celebrating the Light, both inside and outside ourselves! Even in the darkest of times, we can continue to carry the light within us. How do you let your light shine? How can we shine our light as a community?
Quotes to ponder
“These are the darkest days of the year, and it’s no coincidence that the flickering flames of the menorah, the twinkling lights on the tree and the Kwanzaa candelabrum all harken to the human need for the comfort of light.” ~ Tracy Grant
“Remember to light the candle of joy daily and all the gloom will disappear from your life.” ~ Djwhal Khul
“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” ~ Edith Wharton

Gratitudes
We are grateful for the presence of family and friends with whom to celebrate this joyous season! We hope you are enjoying all that this season of light, love, comfort and joy holds.

~ Albert Schweitzer

Car-eography
You
may park in the driveway, as well as diagonally along the north side of
our property. Should those areas become full, please park out on Hwy
1, which has plenty of space and a nice wide shoulder. Do watch for
passing cars as you are exiting and entering your vehicle, though! The
carport area is reserved for folks with special parking needs. Out of
respect for our neighbors, we ask that you kindly refrain from parking
on Evans Drive beyond our property line. Car pooling is encouraged. We
also have a bike rack for cyclists!
