Winter Solstice 2025

I'm writing this on a day that the snow has been…

The day filtered through greys and blues like, looking underwater.

It feels like a good day to connect to winter solstice and reach out to you with warmth.

I want to guide you home to yourself with offers and invitations.

As the longest night crest through our lives I decided to unpack an imaginary suitcase of wishes for you.

I wish you emails which arrive like snowballs and smash out the AI from all of our dreams.

I wish you warm gloves, which feel like a hand held.

I wish you an eye twinkle of delight when you realise that you found the perfect gift for a friend.

I wish you rest.

I wish your houseplants to flourish and for your friends to offer to water them when you are away.

I wish you birds that you'd always wanted to see that leave you with a feeling of, "Oh my god, you'll never guess what?”

I wish you one last winter in that jumper that you really should let go now.

I wish your friend to call you when you need them.

I wish you didn't have to worry.

I wish you words for hard days, and for you to never forget your lip balm.

I wish for someone to walk past you with perfume, which reminds you of being in love in your 20s.

I wish you that song that you didn't know that you needed to hear to pop up on the radio as you walk into a shop.

I wish you felt how loved you are.

I wish you care for your loved ones and tender times with deep knowledge that your clothes are meant to fit your body and not the other way around.

I wish you flowers. Often. Bright. Unexpectedly, and abundantly.

I wish you peace.
