By the time evening comes, I'm ready for some quiet and tell everyone that I have to walk the dogs. I love the dark, starry sky. In my life there have been some merry Christmases and some sad ones. Either way, the evening sky brings me peace. Each solstice a group of friends gathers outside in a park and we build a large fire.
People gather around the fire for warmth and sing songs and recite poetry.
We heat apple cider and think about the year to come and the things we would like to have happen. It's a reflective time, but also one of celebration because after the solstice, each day gets a little bit lighter. Please email our webmaster. We are serious about your privacy.
