Winter Solstice, Vivaldi, and red sky in morning…

This morning I left home at 7, headed along the coast on a trip to Berkeley. Louie had given me a bunch of tapes, and the first one I grabbed was a Vivaldi concert -- one I'm pretty familiar with.
I adore Vivaldi. What he does resonates with my soul. As I was driving up a winding stretch of the coastal highway, a soaring section gave me a jolt. I felt an electrical charge come up the back of my neck. In another movement, which starts with an organ, then joined by a violin, I got tears in my eyes -- not spilling, but there.
It's the Winter Solstice, bless our planet and the life forms upon it. The sky was orange this morning. When I got out to Hwy 101, our Indian Princess Tamalpa in repose, Mt. Tamalpais, was shrouded in mist.

I think Helen pretty much sums it up!

For some of us it's the summer solstice - bless our planet for being round, rotating and orbiting - for it brings seasons and the power of the sun to every corner.
