winter solstice
nights are for discovery - discovering the music of your heartbeat. discovering the vastness of the air you breathe and the fragrance of your home. discovering your body's reaction to your fingertips, your body's reaction to another's skin. discovering the planets. discovering timetravel in dreams and momentum in memories. discovering the life of a city that's asleep, the intensity of a forest that's wide awake. discovering comfort in aloneness and humility in darkness. on this, the longest night of all, revel in discovery as the time for wonder slowly begins to fade, as the time for ambition nears like the lengthening of the day.
