I’ve been out of town recently and busy with various other things, hence the silence. However, I hope to write a review of the Norris book I mentioned earlier (just as soon as I finish reading it, that is). I’d also like to do a series of essays on the eight “high holidays” celebrated by most Pagans and what they might look like from a monastic perspective.
Today is the traditional old Midsummer Day but the actual Summer Solstice was two days ago. I’m going to enjoy the summer while it lasts, since it is short but sweet in New England — fresh vegetables and fruit, blue skies, thunderstorms, sunny beaches, forest greenery and (sigh) bugs.
Edit: No! Today is actually Midsummer’s Eve and tomorrow is Midsummer.
Welcome back–and a blessed Midsummer/Johannestag to you.
Oooh, I’d love to hear more of what you have to say about the “high holidays”!
