Today marks the shortest day. The sun reaches its lowest arc and begins its slow return. This turning happens without fanfare. The change is real but gradual. Tomorrow will be only seconds longer. The day after, a few seconds more. The shift is so small you might miss it, but it is there.
This is how meaningful change often works. Not in dramatic leaps, but in small increments that accumulate. A habit you practice for five minutes each morning. A boundary you hold gently but consistently. A skill you build one repetition at a time. The progress feels invisible until one day you look back and see how far you have come.
Notice the light today. Notice that even at its lowest point, it still arrives. Even in the darkest moment, the turn has already begun. You do not need to force the change. You only need to notice it and align yourself with its direction.
The days ahead will grow longer, minute by minute. Your practice can do the same. Small, steady, almost imperceptible, until the accumulation becomes visible. Trust the process. The turning has already started.
