Today (June 21) is National Indigenous Peoples Day here in Canada. It is still not long after summers solstice (the peak of the solar year) here, and full moon (the peak of the lunar cycle) is tonight here, and it is also about the peak of the 11 year sunspot cycle. I’m making yet another Sisyphean moon rock rolling attempt, which I am reporting on on the thread “crest of a moon/crest of the sun” on alt.religion.druid . This moon reminds me of another full moon, that of the 1990 Celtica Festival in Vancouver, when i had some barbecued salmon prepared by BC native people. I also in the summers of 1994 and 1995 played for the W.I.S.E. Club in slow pitch softball against the Hooligans (a play on oolichan, small fish like our Newfoundland capelin), who I think included some native people. -- David Dalton [email protected] https://www.nfld.com/~dalton (home page) https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/dtales.html Salmon on the Thorns (mystic page) “And the cart is on a wheel; And the wheel is on a hill; And the hill is shifting sand; And inside these laws we stand" (Ferron)
