Hundreds of years ago, people in parts of Old Europe felt anxiety about the Summer Solstice. The sun reached its highest point in the sky at that time, and from then on would descend, bringing shorter and shorter days with less and less light. Apprehensive souls staged an antidote: the festival of Midsummer. They burned great bonfires all through the night. They stayed awake till morning, partying and dancing and having sex. Author Jeanette Winterson expresses appreciation for this holiday. "Call it a wild perversity or a wild optimism," she writes, "but our ancestors were right to celebrate what they feared." Winterson fantasizes about creating a comparable ceremony for her fears: "a ritual burning of what is coward in me, what is lost in me. Let the light in before it is too late." I invite you to do something like this yourself, Leo.
