... in the country of your skin
Last night was, in this time zone and hemisphere, the shortest night of the year, and today is longer than yesterday: it appears* the sun has shifted from its solstice poise and is starting north once again. A mixed blessing that, living in a desert, but it is still reassuring to know that the cycle continues as it always has -- that the shadows that mark our time follow our gnomons, that the lights of our concerns continue to burn in the night.
May all the blessings of the coming days and nights be yours, and your loved ones'.
* As best we can tell from beneath the overcast -- a storm is brewing through.
