A glimmer

Posted on by philipdodson

The bottom is a dark place
The bottom is lonely
The bottom is rock bottom
The bottom feels forever
The bottom is a place we all come to
The bottom is an empty jar
The bottom is an ugly scar
Yet there in the dark is a glimmer
A glimmer of light
A glimmer of something
A glimmer of a chance to rise again
Nothing is forever
Nothing is always dark
Never give up
There is always a glimmer of hope
If we choose to believe
There is always someone there
There is a glimmer
And that is all we need

The light is coming

Today is the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere.

So from today, every day will get slightly lighter, will be slightly longer.

But, the difference in the amount of light from one day to the next is hardly noticeable for months, not until March maybe is there any significant difference.

Life is the same, small changes add up to a big deal, and the little daily steps count but we can’t see the results initially. So often we give up.

Keep going in the dark days as the light will always come if we work at it and make the small daily commitments.
