Today was the day when the sun stood still at 11:28 am and reversed course from tilting away from the sun to tilting toward the sun. Solstice means to "stand still." We had a nice sunny day to celebrate the return of light.
Ancient cultures from Stonehenge in England to Newgrange in Ireland and Tulum in Mexico all celebrated the light's return as they were entirely dependent upon it for warmth and crops and life.
From now on the days will get longer. February the sun won't set until 5:00 and the breath of spring will be on its way.
