Sun Standing Still

Pastor Jón: Sometimes I feel it's too early to use words until the world has been created.
Embi: Hasn't the world been created, then?
Pastor Jón: I thought the Creation was still going on. Have you heard that it’s been completed?
    —Halldór Laxness, Under the Glacier

Sun-Standing-Still. Pausing, the stitch of the journey north.

Stitch the netting!

Sol-stice, we pause, with the rising, an infinite solar-divine

enfolding the measure of Earth-time.

Reminder-time!
