Happy Summer Solstice
Sorry for the short and late post today – I am out of town working on a special project and am exceptionally squeezed for time.
I will just leave you with wishes for a happy summer. The Analemma – the path the sun takes as it shifts its position in the sky day to day – has reached its apex in the northern hemisphere, and thus causing the greatest amount of daylight north of the equator.
This is always a bitter-sweet day for me – it also means the sun will begin its long journey down. For the next six months we will be losing daylight.
But the Summer will soon bring TAM8 - which I am greatly looking forward to. I hope to see many of you there.
I have always felt that there are 4 ‘natural’ festivals in the year (in a temperate climate). The Solstices for obvious reasons. Then a spring celebration as the earth’s fecundity develops and a fall harvest festival when food and other materials are stored for the winter.
hehehe us southern ppl are on our way to summer!!! yay!
Why does happiness matter? Why is it better than sadness? If the world has no inherent meaning, no true good or bad in absolute terms, then it is logically inconsistent think that any particular day is special or more meaningful than any other day.
