Winter Solstice 2016
DECEMBER 21, 2016
**Here comes the sun**
**Here comes the sun, and I say**
**It's all right**
**Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter**
**Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here**
**Here comes the sun**
**Here comes the sun, and I say**
**It's all right**
**Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces**
**Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here**
**Here comes the sun**
**Here comes the sun, and I say**
**It's all right**
**Sun, sun, sun, here it comes**
**Sun, sun, sun, here it comes**
**Sun, sun, sun, here it comes**
**Sun, sun, sun, here it comes**
**Sun, sun,...**
**-The Beatles 1969**

I can remember the first time I heard this song...
sitting high above the high school football field
on the steps of the Healdsburg Cemetary as a teenager.
Something clicked inside of me that day
and that moment is forever in my memory,
as was the viewing of these life-size pieces
of amazing paper maché figures
and meeting their creator,
San MIquel de Allende artist Adolfo Falcón Garza
in October of 2012.

May this return of the sun
touch our hearts
and open to this new light birthing within us all.
