January 3, 2006 The Solstice 
I've written a lot already on how the winter solstice is the beginning of a season of death. It seems as if life heard me, and has decided to provide case studies. CS#1: My SIL's father died suddenly about ten days ago. Not that I needed the reminders. Three of my grandparents died on or around Christmas. The Winter Solstice--it's depressing. Thank the gods for the lights and decorations and manic music and special food and gifts, because otherwise, it could be unbearable.

Change is God (Octavia Butler, Parable Series) "In this world, there is nothing softer or thinner than water. But to compel the hard and unyielding, it has no equal. That the weak overcomes the strong, that the hard gives way to the gentle -- this everyone knows. Yet no one acts accordingly."
