Today is the Summer Solstice. A year ago I lured TC out on Rockport’s Old Granite Pier to watch the Summer Solstice Sunrise (Figure 1). The solstice has always appealed to me. It emphasizes the fact that since the beginning of human time people have been looking up searching for something, searching for meaning. It represents the dichotomy of human experience, the scientific and the spiritual.

“And so, perhaps, the truth winds somewhere between the road to Glastonbury, Isle of the Priests, and the road to Avalon, lost forever in the mists of the Summer Sea.”

Marion Zimmer Bradley – The Mists of Avalon
