Winter Solstice 2016

This celebrates the Winter Solstice. In Alaska this day is particularly welcome because it marks the yearly point at which the days begin to lengthen and we can see the beginning of release from the dark of winter.

Season's Greeting 2014

***

Both the flux of the heavens
And the flux deep within are slow,
Compared to the layered assemblies between--
Amoebae, Cells, humans,
Swirling and mingling to rhythms their own
And shared.

I think I am fixed in place and time,
Caught in a matrix of ebb and flow
Subject to laws prescribed.
But at the edges light dances, time wobbles.
There what is certain gives way to the
Inexplicable.

Some call these uncertainties mysteries
Others say miracles.

--Marge
