Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere.
The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back.
A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year.
Fiat lux!

When I open them, most of the books have the smell of an earlier time leaking out between the pages - a special odor of the knowledge & emotions that for ages have been calmly resting between the covers. Breathing it in, I glance through a few pages before returning each book to its shelf.
