I was going to wax poetic about how all people once lit fires in a Winter ceremony to welcome back the sun. Then I realized that, for half the world, it is summer, and they are celebrating the longest day of the year.
It is weird how hard it is to understand that, in Middle Earth, it is now summer. ;)
Although it is true that we are all emotionally tied to the sun. We lift up our faces to the sun, we save most of our bad deeds for the night.
When Copernicus announced that the Earth went around the Sun, the church imprisoned him. "For is not mankind the center of the universe?" A part of me agrees. I would much rather be the center of the universe than a small speck in the telescope of a distant star system.
Enough boring philosophy. It is the time to celebrate, SO CELEBRATE!
