brightrosefoxToday, I celebrate the Winter Solstice of 2012.
But I also celebrate Math. I celebrate the fantastic power of the Human Brain. Because many millenia ago, a bunch of people were able to calculate various alignments and calendar events 6,000 years in the future, all by themselves. Kudos, Maya people.
I celebrate the death and rebirth of billions of consciousnesses, of billions of metaphors for the gods and goddesses that rule these seasons and planets, those gods who die and are reborn on each Solstice. Perhaps something did die today, but it was certainly reborn and is more alive than ever. Maybe it's just us. Maybe it's just some people getting their brains rewired in weird ways.
Also, the Doctor helped.
