756. Solstice
Thursday, and possibly the world if pop culture has it right, comes to an end.
Finished the Yarmuth mailing and, with Michael, delivered it to the Post Office. Then had a pleasant meal at North End where neither of us apparently thought enough of it to "check-in" with the other.
Tomorrow is one of my favorite days, the Winter Solstice, the feasts of Saturnalia and Yuletide, and in Wales Lá an Dreoilín. It has been borrowed by Christians to celebrate the birth of Christ and is a common marker for a new year. On some calendars it is Midwinter or even the mid-year, especially for students.
The shortest day, the longest night.
So, celebrate and enjoy - here's to Best Wishes for Earth's next journey around the Sun. AMEN.
