Happy Winter Solstice!

Here we are- the day of the REAL holiday. The REAL reason for the season. The shortest day of the year. From here on out the days get longer and the nights shorter. The return of the sun.
Anyone doing any fun hippie shit to celebrate? I'm trying to see if there's any bonfires or drum circles or stuff like that going on in my area.

I'm throwing a solstice party tonight, I threw a smaller one last night for close friends, But the one tonight is going to be a lot bigger. I'm really excited for tonight, I got some really good ideas for some awesome transitions and song segments for tonight. Then starting next year I might upgrade my system and equipment.
Besides that I've been reading a lot, and playing a lot of Destiny and WoW.
Basslights in Hampton is on the 27th and 28th, String Cheese the 29th in CO, then Decadence on the 30th in CO and Nashville on the 31st! 4 Bassnectar shows, two pretty lights shows, and a string cheese show, not bad for 5 days.  Fuck I can't wait!
Edit: Just realized I got started typing and forgot what thread I was posting in and started to post about non solstice spacific stuff, already got a bit of a buzz going and I blame it on that.

I am teaching a candlelight winter solstice/new moon restorative yoga class today at 4pm. Eeep! It's coming up soon and I still have to pick out the rest of my music.
Here's the Hafiz poem I am going to share with my students later toward the end of class.
Light will someday split you open Even if your life is now a cage, For a divine seed, the crown of destiny, Is hidden and sown on an ancient, fertile plain You hold the title to...
Love will surely bust you wide open I nto an unfettered, blooming new galaxy Even if your mind is now A spoiled mule.
A life-giving radiance will come, The Friend's gratuity will come
O look again within yourself, For I know you were once the elegant host To all the marvels in creation.
From a sacred crevice in your body A bow rises each night And shoots your soul into God.
Behold the Beautiful Drunk Singing One From the lunar vantage point of love.
He is conducting the affairs Of the whole universe While throwing wild parties In a tree house - on a limb In your heart.

Yep. Good thing we have daylight saving time... oh wait, that's only in the summer when there's plenty of daylight anyway.

Went to the Rollright stones just after sunset, met a lovely white dog called Merlin, and a black dog called Loki. In the end, it was six of us (not counting the canines), five women and me.
One of them remarked how nice it was that the women brought the fire, and I brought the water, which was later used to douse the flames. I wished them well, and if I did not see them in the flesh on summer solstice, I know they'd be there in spirit.
They also encouraged me to do Morris dancing as they said the most interesting men they've met are Morris dancers and apparently share a lot in common with me.
Now, remember, the sun won't get any higher for the next three days, but come Christmas the sun rises higher and the days get longer, so here's to Christmas

the white dog black dog merlin loki thing really spoke to me, I had two trips one with a white dog that licked my hand all night that i finally found out wasnt there.. and another trip where i looked out the window and saw a black pickup with a white dog in the back and within five minutes i looked out again and saw a white truck with a black dog in the back, it was jus bizarre and profound to me...the whole trip kept making me think if rhyming words and singing strange phrases, that seemed magical prose.. I hadnt thought of this in years thanks for reminding me
