thoughts behind the solstice series:
 
December 21st marks the shortest hours of daylight in the year, and the longest night.
 
in response to what I can imagine was a very harsh time for our ancestors in the Northern Hemisphere, they developed a way to celebrate, to light up the night, to come together and feast long after the last big harvest, to feel a little warmer, and a little less alone.
 
the solstice is about celebrating cycles.  it's less about a linear path forward, marching into the New Year.  it's a real pause.  because the earth has paused, and forced us to coexist alongside the night a little longer than we might be comfortable with.  and it reminds us every single time: that we will survive it.
 
we realize we can rest into the night, the unknown, our own shadows, the darkness, as long as there's a tiny flame and some kindling.  there's a reason we can gaze into a fire for way too long and feel safer for it.
 
I like to call it: cavewoman tv.
