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!

Aging is so underrated. Your peers are more interesting, and conversations richer. You're able to revisit books you first read twenty years ago. There is less jealousy, and God willing less pride. It's just a great time of life, aside from the thing that contains you (or is you) falling apart.
