Imbolc—The Sun Returns!

Today is Imbolc, one of my favorite holy-days of the year. After the long nights of the winter solstice season in the northern hemisphere, where I live, Imbolc marks a turning point. There's now enough sunlight to spark hormonal upsurges in our bodies. Hormones, in turn, stimulate the brain. For me,  it's rare that a year goes by without Imbolc bringing me important new insights.

In honor of Imbolc I've uploaded two more of my friend Aleah's beautiful photos of the sun (not photoshopped or altered in any way), taken in the Montclair, New Jersey area where I live.

Below, you'll also find a song about the sun, and a short clip of NASA's translations of the sun's emanations into audible sound. 

Wishing you warm, sunny days ahead!
