Today/tonight/tomorrow is the turning of the year from darkness toward light. The longest night and shortest day are past, and winter, although the worst is yet to come, is counting down to spring.
Next month, we’ll start seeing snowdrops–the flowers as well as the precipitation. Life in the heart of death, as death is in the heart of life, each giving the other value and meaning.
My church, Corydon Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), is having a Solstice service tonight. Looking forward to it.
WRITING PROMPT: How does your main character celebrate the turning of the year, or does he/she even notice it?
