As we make our way through the shortest day/longest night of the year, let us not forget the importance of darkness. It wasn't that long ago, really, that we humans survived and even thrived despite not having the capability of lighting the night the way we do today. Being able to see the stars connects us to that not-so-distant history.
Sunlight is important for our health, but so is darkness. And the night brings a beauty to the sky that is unparalleled. So I say... embrace the night! Like everything in nature, darkness moves in cycles. Right now we have the longest period of darkness that we see each year. And, before we know it, we'll once again have the longest period of daylight that we see each year. Appreciate both for the wonderful things that they are.
