OMG I lapsed and forgot to mark the solstice by blogging about it yesterday. Not that it makes any difference in the inevitable shortening of days that will take me into much hated and dark Winter. Overly rational that I am, I still greet solstices and equinoxes with something akin to religious, if not fervor, at least acknowledge- ment. Those days do mark me and I like to mark them. I totally understand Evo Morales' impulse to declare yesterday as the true new year's day in Bolivia. Of course what in the southern hemisphere marks the lengthening of days, here only reminds me that all the lushness I see around me at the moment will, much to my chagrin, be gone in a few months...
...Lushness not withstanding; and as much as I hate "text-write", OMG is once again an appropriate beginning for my next sentence. OMG it is motherfucking hot!!! I leave the global warming debates to those who like to debate that intellectual and political rat's nest of data; all I know is that this is the hottest June I have experienced since moving to this godforsaken place. The sun is celebrating that which we humans on this hemisphere call summer with a vengeance!
Well, Happy One Day After the Solstice little life giving star!
The day is now marked and I leave church to go toil under your blaze.
