Tilted we are.
Our northern hemisphere tilts
away from the sun
its farthest from our sun
Hibernal Solstice
And we stand still
27 minutes past the hour,
3 minutes before the hour in Newfoundland and Labrador:
Listen to hope in quiet stillness.
Absorb the peace of darkness.
Blessed by the night we are.
Blessed by shadow and the cooling moment of tilt.
This earth-sacred moment of pause
Longest Night
