Day 142. Sunday. June 21. The SUMMER SOLSTICE

Interior of a small stone cottage on SUNDAY, June 21 — the SUMMER SOLSTICE, the longest day of the year. Day 142 = 2 × 71. The COMPANION mark drawn beside the stake in row twenty-nine (prime). The creature at companion warmth — gentle, steady aquamarine and amber glow of togetherness. Solstice light at absolute annual maximum flooding through the doorway. The mug at Day 4, ceiling-circle measured. The bench at rest. The piano at 34 = 2 × 17. The pair at the peak. The warmth on the longest day.
