Every six weeks you have something to celebrate that has a foundation in the cyclic behaviour of the planet itself. While I may not post the celebrations here, they are still personally observed by myself. The marking of the turn of the year is something that can be comforting as you transit the woo woo of the cultural practices of Neo- Paganism.
After all is said and done... Axial tilt is the reason for the season.
Eightfold year is good. I like turning them into secular celebrations
Now, as for the loss of my favorite pencil (xD), no, that's not what I was getting at. It's just stuff, easily replaceable. What I mourn the loss of, I suppose, is the community of people I felt that I belonged in.
I need new friends. Or get in touch with the ones who are atheists. I think there's a few....
