ABC News reported: “If the early evening gloom is getting to
you, take comfort that the days are about to start getting longer. The winter
solstice—which marks the beginning of winter and the shortest day of the year
in the Northern Hemisphere—comes tonight at 12:30 AM, EST. Tonight is the night
the axis, as seen from the north, points as directly away from the sun as it
will all year. So Chicago , for instance, will
get just 9.1 hours of daylight tomorrow, Atlanta
and Los Angeles will get 9.9 hours (they’re
closer to the equator) and everything north of the Arctic
Circle will experience 24 hours of darkness.”
On December 21, 2011 . . . Sunrise
I’m excited.
Why?
Because on December 22, 2011 the days start becoming
l-o-n-g-e-r.
Feels like Promise.
Feels like Hope.
Feels like Joy.
Looks like more Light is coming.
I'm excited.
PS--I know that the actual 24-hour day
doesn't really become longer.
But you get what I mean.
Don't you?
yes, I understand your implications both literally and symbolically. I really enjoy your page, my friend. :-) Pat
