Summer Solstice + 1

Happy Summer Solstice.....plus one. I forgot to record
it yesterday. Longest day of the year and cause for cele-
bration among a number of cultures, past and present.
The Solstices and the Equinoxes are 'natural' holidays,
created as they are by planet cycles that can be recog-
nized and observed. All other mythologies are scenar-
ios, i.e. narratives with characters, god and human. But
the procession of the heavens needs no story or actors.
It's enough that celestial bodies pirouette in the void.
