Winter Solstice: Night at its longest

800

On Winter Solstice, dance between yin and yang reaches its apex. All things await their rebirth, even in the deepest hush of darkness. With wine and food, we honor those before. Beside the hearth, we keep our sweetest lore. Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) poet Ma Zhen wrote in On Winter Solstice: "Behind drawn curtains, all are gathered in play.; Shared warmth and joy melt the winter chill away." After the longest night, days begin to grow. May every longing find its way home.

Today is Winter Solstice.  However, I did not eat the buns shown in the video today, I ate an egg souffle prepared by my wife for breakfast, and a Burger King hamburger and fries for lunch.

Although I never could understand how people living in the Southern Hemisphere (being upside-down) don't fall off the earth!

(Must be some sort of magic, eh?)

Not everyone would agree with the gravity of your comment.
