Up here in the northern hemisphere, today is the winter solstice…the first day of winter. Which is great. But the reason today is a high holy day on my calendar is because it is the longest night (and conversely, the shortest day) of the year. Since June 21, I have been “patiently” watching as the nights ever-so-slowly started getting longer, one minute at a time, until today. And now, starting tomorrow, I have to watch with slowly building dread and contempt as that wretched star in our sky starts showing up for slightly longer periods each day. Alas. For now, let there be night.
