Happy Solstice!

[Lainey]

Discovery Channel is having an "end of days" marathon. A mix of stories - some real scientific fact and some internet rumors and some New Age stuff.

One church here in Phx is having a drumming circle tonight - now that's a fun way to celebrate Solstice!

We made it! The world didn't end! Happy day after Solstice and here's to longer days of sunlight cometh!

Wassail!

I had my quota of pickled herring last night, and delighted in the closing of the family circle with our daughter and granddaughter (age 3). I enjoyed a CD "On Yoolis Night - medieval carols & motets" (English, from 13th through the 15th centuries)

"...Now man may to heuen wende;
now heuen and erthe to hym they bende,
he that was foe now is oure frende;
this is no nay that I thee telle,
Nowel."

And Happy Solstice to You! I wonder if you might enjoy this reflective piece I wrote about the Solstice and the Holidays:
