Sunday Meditation: Happy New Year

Undoubtedly, you’re expecting your New Year’s Eve meditation to have a New Year theme. But I’m just not going there. I don’t know what happened this year and what happened last year. Ask me what I did in ’06 and I might well tell you something I did in ’04. The past is a blurry place, and I have no idea why it’s important to know a number. It’s just a number.

Here’s what I’ve been meditating on today (follow along at home):

In Wicca, on the darkest night of the year, we do a ritual about light.

On the brightest day of the year, we do a ritual about darkness.

Everything contains its opposite.

The dot in the yin yang is the sun on Winter Solstice, light in darkness.

Perhaps the light is in darkness because we need hope. Perhaps the darkness is in light because that’s when we can best face it.

Today, meditate on opposites, on light in the darkness, darkness in the light, and your own personal yin-yang.
