Yule Log

The yule log foretold joy fulfilled—glad anticipations realised in the warmth of great festivities, light kindled deliberately against the dark. There is gathering and belonging here. Sometimes the dream asks what celebration you're moving toward, and whether you'll let yourself be fully present in its warmth when it comes.

Miller 1901
