Happy Winter Solstice, flickrperns!
The text was brazenly paraphrased from a Christmas quote by Agnes Pharo. The photo was brazenly downloaded from the web. The sentiment was brazenly inspired by my own experiences meditating in Druid nemeta in Marin County California.
And in the “I Know You Wanted to Know This” department:
You have heard German composer Johann Pachelbel’s 300-year-old Canon and Gigue for 3 Violins and Basso Continuo a million times even if you don’t recognize the name. It has been cameoed in hundreds of television shows and movies written since 1980, when Robert Redford used it in his 1980 film Ordinary People. But I was already sick of it by 1980, having seen the Joffrey Ballet’s 1972 staging of Gerald Arpino’s Sacred Grove on Mt. Tamalpais -- which featured that music. Arpino's ballet had been inspired by a Druid nemeton on the slopes of Mt. Tamalpais in that same Marin County, California.
