The Sun Stands Still

We had all the weathers on the summer solstice today.

I woke to muggy, misty, sticky, heavy moist air and thick cloud that flowed into light, and then heavy, rainfall. The storms moved off and suddenly the dark clouds cleared and gave way to crystal blue skies and big, puffy white clouds. Soft breezes and cooler air. 

The sun stands still for three days as sunset falls at the same time today, tomorrow, and Sunday. It's why we call it the solstice. 

Because the sun appears to stand still in the sky, neither increasing the light of day or diminishing it.






The Great Summer Writing Retreat of 2019 begins. One hundred days of writing unedited ideas and following a prompt to its sometimes illogical conclusion.
