solstice south



On the winter solstice:
I learned wind is caused by heating and cooling of the Earth.

It's clear, I caught the ruby grapefruit pink sunrise this last morning. Also got up to see lunar eclipse - around two o'clock a.m. - saw the Earth's shadow half covering the moon, then stayed to see it lock over her fully - made her look like a remarkably three-dimensional tiny buttercream ball.

The sea makes a penitent out of me -
I gladly bear salt crystals in my hair all the way home.
