Celebrate the Winter Solstice

with Judy King

Little Wenlock Village Hall, Malthouse Bank, Little Wenlock, Shropshire, TF6 5BN

“No one knew the name of this day;

Born quietly from deepest night,

It hid its face in light,

Demanded nothing for itself,

Opened out to offer each of us

A field of brightness that travelled ahead,

Providing in time, ground to hold our footsteps

And the light of thought to show the way.”

John O’ Donohue from To Bless the Space Between Us
