Nearing Christmas at Winter Solstice

It arrived at Stonehenge and here, too.  The light is mighty short.

"And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven, to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. God then made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: He made also the stars. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven, to shine upon the earth. And to rule in the day, and in the night, and to separate the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the fourth day."
~ Genesis 1:14-19; 1599 Geneva Bible ~

  2. As a child I was taken to Stonehenge often as my grandparents lived fairly close - you could walk around and touch/hug the stones, they felt special. Solstice is the only time touching is allowed now as they need protecting ... it is a very atmospheric place. I am looking forward to lighter days ahead but will looking hard at the North Star tonight and think about the meaning of Christmas before I am once again immersed in flashing lights and tinsel. Wishing you a very happy Christmas and New Year, Nancy. Betty

  3. I was at Stonehenge years back and it was so crowded...I could just sense a little mysticism. I'm so glad to see the year turn past and have the sun a little longer.
