In the darkest stretch of the year, when night swallows up so much of the day, may you turn and gaze deep into the well of the sky. May you catch sight of those strange and distant glimmers that can only be seen in thick darkness–the stars, the embers, the shimmering omens of other worlds. May you dare to follow these lights wherever they lead, on epic journeys through new worlds within and beyond yourself. And may you carry the brilliant wisdom you discover wherever it is needed, passing on torches of inspiration, courage, and truth.
