About Time
Kagami Mochi
Kagami (mirror) mochi (rice cake) is made and placed on an altar right after Christmas when the festive Japanese season begins. The mandarin orange symbolizes a family’s generational continuity; the mochi disks, the passage of years. During the season’s Kagami Biraki (opening the mirror), the now brittle mochi is broken and shared to both celebrate the new year and prevent illness and accidents. Kagami mochi is one of many meaningful traditions in Japan.

Longest Night
Happy Winter Solstice!
Many will sing and hold vigil tonight so that the Sun can sleep deep & long and then rise in the morning renewed, ready to begin a brand new day & year. In many traditions, tomorrow marks New Year’s Day in honor of Solar Time.
May this be a year of increasing peace, compassion for others and oneself, potable water & food for all and the building of a kinder inclusive world, not for profit but for love.
To your Joy and Life!
