Read the story, "The Rebirth of the Sun." Light a candle and take a few moments to ponder how you experience the darkness and compare that to the image of night as a loving mother who cradles you when you are exhausted. For a few minutes focus on what you are grateful for in your life. Extinguish the candle and say a brief "thank you" in your heart for the energy and light of the sun, as well as the darkness which brings us rest.
