I voted because it is an outward expression of intentional visualization, and I believe the Universe responds to such outward expressions with manifestations of equal or higher value (even if at first glance they do not seem to be so).

Each year we share this meditation poem written by Twinkle in 2013.

May we find comfort in the warm embrace of the dark season.

The Dark Season

We are at the threshold of the Seasons, 

the doorway to the Year, 

when the Veil is thin, 

and time passes amorphously.  

We turn inward as the Darkness beckons us.  

We welcome the warmth of the fire, 

contemplating the mysteries of the Unseen.  

We honor the soft ache in our hearts 

for those we have lost: 

the people, 

the dreams.  

And we rest.  

For rest we must, to heal.  

This is the cycle of death and rebirth; 

release and renewal.  

We cherish this time 

as the lessons it offers 

penetrate our knowing.  

May we breathe in wisdom 

and breathe out patience.
