>> You Are Invited
to the "Solstice through New Years Light-the-World" Word Jam
>> Who?
You who understand that hearts must be warmed in
bleak winter months, you who celebrate by sharing
the great light within you, you who enjoy decorating
the world with words from the flame of your heart.
It is a magical time of year! Whether you celebrate
the winter Solstice, Sacaea, Saturnalia, Yule, Christmas,
Chanukah, Kwanza, or another winter holiday or
even none at all – If you celebrate Life, you are invited.
>> When?
From the shortest day of the year, the Winter Solstice,
Monday December 21, 2009 – 3PM ET
until - Friday, January 1st, 2010 – 3PM ET
>> Where?
at Studio Eight - Uniting the Arts
http://studioeight.tv/phpbb
>> Why?
Because seasons cycle,
daylight wanes then brightens,
all life renewed by light & rhythm,
the insistence of an incessant star dance,
our earth on a tilted axis drawing a circle
around the sun, and the whirl of life revolves.
Because though we cannot solve a winter
mystery, we can discover our journey
connected to each other, lovers of
words and the art of the creative universe.
Because together we can light the world!
