As my friend and family are celebrating Winter Solstice we are experiencing Geshi.
Geshi typically arrives around June 21st each year, marking the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere. However, its exact date can slightly vary, landing anywhere from June 20th to June 22nd, a subtle reminder of Earth's intricate dance around the Sun.
The term "geshi" comes from one of the 24 solar terms of the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar, significantly influencing the Japanese calendar and agricultural practices. While geshi is commonly celebrated on June 21st as the day with the longest daylight hours of the year, it traditionally refers to a period extending about two weeks after this date. In Japan, it is generally understood as the beginning of the summer solstice period.
Happy Solstice wherever you are ❤️
