Length of Day: 8h 23m Tomorrow will be 0m 9s longer. Yay! It's only 9 seconds, but I'll take it. We like to call that 'directionally correct'.

I had a wonderful "High Noon" dance to welcome in the new year.

Good times to you and yours.

My bones tell me spring
is out there, pensive, hidden.
It’s a knowing that cannot
be explained. The deer are
mindful of this fact even
in November. Of course
I understand the seasons,
and the calendar gives clues
but that’s not the spring
I’m thinking about – this
cycle, the turning, something
deep within speaks of life
and miracles. Maybe broken
hearts are better receptors,
or my fatigue draws the
curtains open to that light,
but how else can the
perfection of tall white oak
begin with nothing more
than what fell, heedless,
and gathered by squirrels,
stashed, forgotten, put down
roots in the cold earth
and reach toward what
it does not know? I ask you
this: how? I am so tired
in what should be my time
of rest, and still I know
that spring is out there,
that roots will plunge,
fawns will emerge,
and step into the light
with gratitude for all
that is made, and for
whatever mysteries await.

Awww. Maybe you can have a Solstice II when D returns home again.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that an owl graced us with its presence at our ceremony, and a family of 5 deer. {#Meditate}

EDIT: LOVELY poem, BHD. Thank you! {#Arrowd}

Thanks, Alex. I wrote that the morning of the 9th after spending the night of the 8th on the floor in my mother's room. She died later that night. But it's not a lament.

Though my back was killin' me from sleeping on the floor.
