Another Winter Solstice is upon us.

Ever since I was a kid, I always looked forward to the two Solstices and Equinoxes each year. I don’t know why, but somehow, I felt it was important to recognize these important times in the Earth’s lifecycle.

I think it all started when I first learned of the existence of Stonehenge in England. It fascinated me on how and why it was built, and how the positioning of the stones where related to the Earth’s rotation around the Sun. Or, it might have been something else. Who cares? I still track each of them each year.

Today, I know a little more, and admittedly, still not enough. I know that various civilizations across the millennia found them special, celebrating the events every year. What I know is that I am eager to learn more. Again, I don’t know why. I just am.

If you are into celebrating the Winter Solstice, today’s the day. Happy Solstice. Enjoy!
