Rage Against the Dying of the Light
Posted by PintofStout on December 18th, 2009
A new poem has posted under the poetry tab entitled “Solstice Solace”.
I’ve written on these pages before about how seasonal transitions would be a significant time to mimic our sun and pull an about-face in some manner. Some wait until New Year’s Eve to lie to themselves about change. Maybe the complete lack of significance to the new year holiday (or it could be the champagne!) contributes to the dismal success rate of new year’s resolutions. So this year try it out on a solstice and see how it works.

I think that the intractability of the human will is more to blame than any particular day.

You’re right and I don’t doubt it for a second. Don’t tell anyone, though.

I really like that idea—in fact, I think that following the example of the sun is an excellent way to get around human intractability.
Happy solstice, my friend!
