“seasons don’t fear the reaper / nor do the wind, the sun, or the rain / we can be like they are”

Tonight, in this time zone of the northern hemisphere, is Year’s Long Night. A column candle has been secured, and we’ll be gathering evergreens to decorate it this afternoon, before lighting it shortly before sundown. Leaving it to burn all night might be a challenge, given the kitten, but we’ll try to lure the sun back towards us. The consequences if it doesn’t return, well, don’t bear thinking about.

A safe and happy solstice to all!
