The Daily Boost (published weekdays) is one of the newsletters of The Raft, the online community of author Phyllis Cole-Dai. We Rafters ride the river of life buoyed by music, poetry, and other arts, plus water-drops of wisdom. Most everything here is free, but patrons (paid subscribers) get some special perks as a gesture of gratitude.
Sending you toward winter solstice with a lovely chant . . .
WINTER SOLSTICE SONG Lea Morris Let your soul's light shine so brightly Let your soul's light shine so brightly Let your soul's light shine so brightly That we all can find our way home (2x) Refrain: Find our way home We can find our way You know, my friends We got to light up the night Find our way home Somehow it's all gonna be all right . . . Everybody's got a little light to shine . . . And we all can find our way home Refrain
(My thanks to Lea Morris.)
