Day 633: As Creatures Go

Where did my lovely post go? I done a great big one full of all the tasty lovely people who've blessed me over the last (then last) week, and it's upped and disappeared. That'll teach me to dally on the posting of it. The good bit, though, is that it doesn't stop those people having been very, very lovely.

Yesterday was the winter solstice and it was enriched on many fronts. An afternoon swim by invitation (an invitation to all the women who swim there, not an exclusive one). We swam and then we did a jumpy-up-and-downy solstice ceremony together. It was cold. A few of us chased each other before the seriousness of the ceremony started. After that, we were well serious (almost).

After that, we made our various ways back to the home of lovely artist Jane (and what an artist's pad it was - wood everywhere, carved with love, a studio and a high, almost secret mezzanine bed, carved art, high ceilings, light and loveliness. We had another ceremony there, which involved cake and crumpets, prayer ties, four directions, more laughter and a little bit of crying (not from me this time - odd). Lots of giving of thanks. A little bit of foot massage. 

In the evening, a lovely, magical healing (it's all so surprisingly magical... I'm impressed) and just general sweet vibes. Very lucky, I am, as creatures go.
