Solstice Songs anyone??
Kerry:
In Wicca, as part of Yule celebrations, this is traditionally chanted whilst gazing into the cauldron, prior to igniting it. More an incantation than a song, I guess:
I sorrow not, though the world is wrapped in sleep.
I sorrow not, though the icy winds blast.
I sorrow not, though the snow falls hard and deep.
I sorrow not; this too shall soon be past.

I had a low moment last night, with some not-very-rollicking existential angst, something I've learned not to let take over. This would have hit the spot well, I think. Thanks Kerry.

If there's one thing worse than "existential angst," it's "not-very-rollicking existential angst" :(
I hope you're feeling better today. Imagine all the wonderful, exciting adventures ahead for us all in 2007! :laugh:
May you know all blessings :)

Thanks Kerry.
Yes, I'm much better. It was really probably less than ten minutes of yuck. And I do have many, many blessings.
Hope you are having a wonderful summer. I remember an interview I saw with Heath where he talks about celebrating Christmas in Australia in "a singlet," something I had to look up to know it meant tank top here in the US. :)

Hi Clarissa,
Yes, today is indeed a glorious high-summer day here. Perfect "beach weather," as we say. Days don't get much better than this - crystal clear aquamarine sky, a few fluffy white clouds, glorious sunshine, approx 23C (75F) ;D
Ideal weather for a picnic or day at the beach. And yes, just right for wearing shorts, a singlet and thongs! :-\
Don't blush! (LOL) In Australia, "thongs" are what we call the rubber, flip-flop footwear that's so common here :laugh: Everyone from age 1-100 has at least one "pair of thongs."
I believe Heath and Michelle are in Oz at present and are, no doubt, wearing just this kinda "clobber" (apparel!) :o
I read in the paper that they were attending the wedding of Heath's father in Perth, Heath's home town. From the pics I saw in the media, they donned their "glad-rags" (formal attire!) and didn't wear singlets and thongs to the wedding! Hee-hee! LOL! ::)
