SUMMER SOLSTICE





My wife and I only celebrate four holidays: Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Fall Equinox and Winter Solstice.   All the rest are man-made commemorations of bullshit.  – an attempt to venerate our belief in the nobility of our species. 

To me the natural seasons mark the stages of human life: childhood (birth-20); young adult hood (20-40); adulthood (40-60) and old age (60+):  Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.  

   

I am in the winter of my years, and that is not bad because I have always love the winter.    Now the days get shorter as we move toward winter, and I look forward to the coming of that season and the first snow fall.

 

Yes, John Snow, winter is coming for all of us; but that is not a bad thing.

  1. Summer Solstice blessings to you and your wife! I have about a year left before my own winter starts, so I'm enjoying autumn while it lasts.
