Pretty intuitive animation explaining seasons, equinox, solstice, length of day and night.

Today marks the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.

Embracing the In-Between: The Power of Seasonal Pauses

There are moments each year when the world seems to hold its breath. Not quite the season we’re leaving, not yet the one we’re entering. A soft in‑between. A hinge. A threshold. A pause.

This pause is subtle. It’s the way the light shifts — not dramatically, but with a quiet insistence that something is changing. It’s the way the air feels different on the skin, carrying a new texture, a new temperature, a new intention. It’s the way the body senses a turning before the mind has language for it. In these in‑between days, nature loosens her grip.

The trees stop striving upward and begin listening downward. The soil exhales. The wind rearranges itself. Even the birds seem to linger a little longer on the branch, as if deciding which direction to take next.

We, too, are invited into this pause.

The pause between seasons is a reminder that transitions aren’t meant to be rushed. They are meant to be felt. This is the space where we gather ourselves — the pieces we’ve scattered, the lessons we’ve lived, the parts of us that grew quietly while we weren’t paying attention.

It’s a moment to ask gentle questions: 
What am I carrying that no longer fits the season ahead?
What wants to be softened? 
What wants to be tended? 
What wants to be released?

In this sacred pause, the body becomes a listening place. The nervous system loosens. The breath deepens. The mind stops reaching for answers and instead leans into awareness. We remember that change doesn’t happen in the moment of arrival — it happens in the space just before.

This is the wisdom of the in‑between: life is not a series of clean beginnings and endings. It is a continuous unfolding, a slow turning, a rhythm that asks us to trust the spaces where nothing seems to be happening.

But something is happening. 
Integration. 
Reorientation. 
Recalibration. 
A quiet gathering of strength for whatever comes next.

When we honor the pause between seasons, we honor our own becoming. We step into the next chapter not by force, but by attunement — aligned with the deeper pace of the world around us.

Allow yourself time today to pause and listen. Listen to the pause in the breath between the inhale and the exhale. Listen to your body as it whispers what it needs. Listen to the earth beneath you- steady, patient, unhurried, let the small moment of stillness be a reminder that you don’t have to rush your way into the next season of your life. You can arrive slowly with presence, with softness, and with trust in the quiet wisdom that’s already guiding you.

Try a one-minute grounding pause to help you soften, settle, and come back to yourself with gentle cues to release your shoulders. Feel your weight supported and find one steady point in your body. This quick reset helps you remember that you are here and you are safe. You can begin again at any time.

Light opening (center of image) above the entrance to the passage at Newgrange.
For a few days around the winter solstice, a ray of light shines through this opening into the chamber at the end of the passage at sunrise.

Greetings, fellow Fedizens. Winter solstice has passed and the days are getting longer, hooray. (Those of us in the Southern half, your time will come.)

Another hour, and the first slightly longer day will begin in my part of the world. The sky is already brightening, and the birds in the garden are busy announcing the new day.

This is as good a day as any to celebrate Joan Mastodon's special ambassodor in the Arctic, the wonderful @NunavutBirder. He too has reason to rejoice: for him up in #Nunavut, it's only six weeks until the sun will rise again, ending the long unbroken arctic winter night:

May 2026 be the year where the ever extending political and cultural darkness begins to recede.

Today is the 4th Sunday in #Advent.
The last night of #Chanukah.
And the #WinterSolstice.

How lovely to have so many ways at once to acknowledge light, miracles, and hope.

Wishing y'all a #festive #WinterSolstice! We're on the road today so I didn't bring my #YuleGoat, Yuli. Also, some of the folks were going to see would probably insist on an annoying conversation about their religion if I had. We'll put him to flame when we get back home, though.

I somehow missed seeing this event (going on right now). I'll keep an eye on future #MaineAudubon events!

It's also the day that the Earth and all of us are closest to the sun. Join naturalist Jeanne Christie for a walk to the shore at Kettle Cove to learn a bit of ancient history, astronomy, stories of past cultures, and to reflect and celebrate the beginning of the longest night of the year."

Will the #WinterSolstice sunset be as vibrant as this spring sunrise? Still a couple hours to go before we find out here in Interior Alaska…

#ArtAdventCalendar 2024 is almost at an end, and today the shortest day of the year, and I wanted to remind everyone who might be feeling a little SAD that Spring will be here again before we know it. 💚

Happy solstice, the traditional time for the festival of Yule. In 2022, I made this mixed-media artwork inspired by Pagan tradition.

Winter Moments

In the winter, when the days are short and the nights long, it’s easy for anyone to feel a bit lonely, especially during the holiday season. This time of year, even during celebrations, one can fall into a quiet introspection.

There’s something special about this quieter time. It’s an opportunity for personal reflection, much like nature itself in winter. This season encourages us to slow down, think about where we are, and where we’re heading.

One way I find comfort and perspective during these moments is to pay attention to the beauty of the world around us big or small. For instance, the intricate patterns of ice up close. It’s incredible how something so simple can reveal such complex designs and artistry. The delicate details in ice crystals can be a gentle reminder of the beauty of life.

While the holidays are happening around you, remember to take a moment for yourself, I’ve taken a bunch of moments just to reset. Look at the beauty big or small of the world. It’s a way to connect with the here and now, to find calm and in the peace of nature. This can be a source of strength and energy. Sometimes we just need that reminder that sunnier days are ahead.

Happy #solstice and good #yule to all!

We've hit mid-winter and the days will get longer, but the deep cold of winter may keep us huddled in the warmth where we can continue to plan for the spring. Now is a great time to venture out into beautiful, crisp, wintry nature to celebrate the rebirth of the sun and thank the earth for her bounty and constant support. Yule logs, twinkling lights, and candles in our windows are also great ways to welcome the light back into our lives and push back the darkness. Bring some fresh holly inside and keep it near your door to invite good fortune for the coming year. Put your blessing and ritual items and stones in the sunlight to give them an extra boost of magic!

Blessings to you and your kin. 🌟✨ ❄ 🎄

Happy Solstice! The solstice is today, December 21, 2023 at 7:27 pm PST (December 22, 2023 at 03:27 UTC).

Whether this is the Winter Solstice or the Summer for you, you might be thinking more than usual about the power of the sun today. Maybe you’re thinking about people who literally worshipped the sun and wondering if they were onto something. I think they were and wrote about it.

Worship the sun: It's traditional, it's natural, and it's reasonable

“This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year’s threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath, the door of a vanished house left ajar.” ~ Margaret Atwood

3 Good Things, Monday!

1. My art open house (drop in by appointment) is going well! Have sold a few pieces so far (all Reiki-infused and inspired), and more appointments scheduled prior to December 24th. In the photo I've attached, you'll see one of my paintings in the background behind all the text of the book cover for my new novel (see number 2 below). :-)

2. I am on track for publishing my second novel (Otter Coast, a medical marijuana mystery!) on the Winter Solstice. A funny day perhaps in light of the timing with holiday sales (it is not in time for people to order paper copies for Christmas and have them arrive, but e-books will be in time); it feels right, so I'm going for it. Also, as you'll see from the photo of the book cover design in progress, we have lots of Lorem Ipsum text to be replaced. I love Lorem Ipsum text, makes me feel like clean dishes, clean sheets, new opportunities. :-)

3. I'm getting closer to solving some work-related architecture and engineering design challenges which are always intriguing to me. Although I can't talk about work-work, I can say that in novel number 1 (The Erenwine Agenda---a love story that centers on fracking---which I am ALSO reissuing on the Solstice, in my given name, Maia Chowdhury) and in novel number 2, there is lots of workplace drama of the highest caliber! 🙂

Now, back to said Day Job. 🙂
