Tonight We Unite by Candlelight

Tonight, those who are counting down only to Christmas, as well as all who are counting down to Solstice, join together, lighting our Advent wreath candles of hope and/or the life-giving power of Fire.

Let me keep company always with those
who say, “Look!” and laugh in astonishment,
and bow their heads.
