The solstice
or
The sun
Festivals across the northern hemisphere celebrate the return of the sun.
For those of us north of the 49th and just W4M the cold and the light come together.
Winter is on our doorstep and we have had a wonderful autumn.
For observers, today is the day that the sun visibly begins moving north again, the days get longer.
As the sun approached solstice it's southward motion halted, the sun hung motionless at the solstice.
Over the next three days the disk of the sun hovered there above the Tropic of Capricorn.
Finally the sun begins it's northward journey, reborn for the next year, it is visibly returning.
This celestial dance is celebrated by all northern cultures in some fashion, the return of the sun.
Legends and myths have built up around these events in every religion and myth and story.
Living in modern world and accepting the progress of reason and science dispenses myth.
What men have managed to achieve collectively is rather remarkable, our planet glows at night.
We have unleashed forces that require vast repositories of "understood reality".
As we enter the information age astounding gifts such as savant syndrome have been seen.
New enemies have appeared, ebola, VRSA, AIDs and now the coronavirus.
I have no idea what tomorrow brings but I do my best to try and understand what has already arrived.
I am not suprised that nanoparticles are suspected in the bad reactions of some to the Pfizer vaccine.
When we are treading new ground we encounter new dangers, mRNA vaccines are new.
The reason that SI works for me is I don't have time to read everything, but we do.
And that "everything" has a hierarchy of reason and it is accessible to those who can find the corridors.
And these hallways give access to all the things that could be changed by you in you.
So today, after three days of just sitting there, the sun is clearly returning to these northern climes.
And if this year is like last year, even a fool can see the world going around, it will be spring again soon.
But today it is the culmination of the solstice and all the holidays that have interwoven that story into theirs.
I want to wish you all a happy holiday and I hope the light in your life returns as well. |
