Yule be in my heart forever and always

This winter solstice we had a lunar eclipse. The first on Yule sense around 1880 or so. Very cool. Made me realize even more that we've turned the corner, that life goes on weather your are ready or not.




I could feel the warmth from the moon leave us as the earth's shadow covered the moon. Down the road from where I had taken some friends there was a beach party and bonfire. It was quite the sight to be had. I felt a huge push through my body as we went from dead Winter to heading toward Spring. It was fantastic.

I stood there outside the car in the dark, just staring up through the clouds at the moon as it slowly faded away. The cold air nipping at my cheeks.

My little four year old friend was very excited. Although, more excited to go look at Christmas decoration on our way home. She was amazed when I told her exactly what a lunar eclipse was.
