keep your pecker up, the days will get longer : )
tonight marks the winter solstice, the longest night of the year. i know that everything has a purpose, but i for one hate winter. no purpose can be worth the punishing cold and cruel darkness that penetrates this time of year. if it weren’t for the inexplicably awesome city of new york, i would be so gone. california, belize - hell, north carolina would be better than this for christ’s sake. but i can’t leave my big apple, even though it can be a rather a rotten one on those bitter frozen days. with the highest suicide rates in the northern hemisphere, this time of year is hard for everyone - plants, animals and people. but rejoice little robins - keep those peckers up! spring is only 90 days away and each one gets a little closer to 90°. so pour yourself a stiff one and read all about the metaphysical side of the winter solstice, compliments of the spirit, hilarion. cheers…
It was the shortest day of the year in California too, so I’m not sure that this would be an escape.
