Winter Solstice


Today marks the gradual shortening of nights and lengthening of days... and the rain has begun. The kind of drizzle that soaks through Gortex, through bone. It is what makes the winter months here so unbearable, especially when one is alone. But does one respond by living the life of hermitage, or, go out? Rejoice in all that is drenched and saturated!... see what is surrounded in a fresh, dew-covered new light! Copious amounts of wine, food, and good company will be in abundance tonight, and I wish the same for all! Happy Winter Solstice.
