It is a nice celebration. the solstice is either of the two times a year when the Sun is at its greatest distance from the celestial equator, the great circle on the celestial sphere that is on the same plane as the earth's equator. You can click here to know more about writings.

Thank you Steph, I always appreciate hearing feedback like this when I share more personal stuff on the blog. And I love hearing that you’ve gone vegan, and that you feel great! Tis the season for being weepy, I’ve been sentimental a lot too, lately. That poem gets to the heart of it, doesn’t it?!

Thanks again, and have an AWESOME new year. =)

What a Lovely post! I love celebrating the Solstices :) We have a very similar ritual for the Winter Solstice where we build an outdoor fire and we write a list of things we are leaving behind from the turning year and a list of things we are taking with us/ways we hope to grow/things we hope to accomplish in the coming year :) Have a beautiful holiday season filled with Light and Love :)

Happy Winter Solstice! This is a lovely post. I’ve celebrated Summer Solstice down under, with some close friends. There is nothing more lovely than sharing a green feast with a dear few.

Sayward, this post really touched me. I’ve been reading your blog for ages, and it always seems like you are a step ahead of me, showing me the path that I might not have noticed otherwise. I’ve finally gone vegan in the past month, I feel amazing, and I just wanted to give you your kudos and say thank you for creating such a positive, honest space.

I’m probably a little weepy just cause it’s the season, but that goose poem really hit me where i live, and Waits’ Ironman drawing is so freaking precious. “Fuel Gauge!”, oh god I died, how adorable.

Thanks for being you, cause you are awesome. <3

That is probably the coolest thing I have seen in ages. When I was Waits’ age, I lived with my parents and brother in a commune with about thirteen other adults. We were always doing cool stuff like this. I miss that life often, when everything was an adventure. Thanks for the reminder. I love your thoughts on dark and light. It’s so true. I think we (read I) sometimes fool ourselves into thinking that the perfect and balanced life has only light. But that ain’t the way it works, is it? As you say, there is always darkness present. There has to be.

Have a lovely Solstice!
