Winter Solstice 2013

On the evening of June 21st each year at dusk we light a fire. Usually a day or so before we will post a reminder to friends - to come and write your wish on a piece of paper and toss it into the flames. Somehow these 'turns in the tide' of our solar year hold a special charge - and the shortening days of winter (even here in the sub-tropics) conjure expressions of letting go, but also of hope.... for the sun to return and for new beginnings.
