Solstice

From Wikiquote
Each solstice shows us that we can choose. We cannot stop the winter or the summer from coming. We cannot stop the spring or the fall or make them other than they are. They are gifts from the Universe that we cannot refuse. But we can choose what we will contribute to Life when each arrives.

A solstice is an event which occurs when the Sun reaches its most northerly or southerly point relative to the celestial equator on the celestial sphere. Two solstices occur annually, around June 21 and December 21.
