Notes on my walk on Dec 16, 2021:



It is basically another Summer day here. Pure Summer.

One week from the longest night of the year! One week from birth of 
Mithra on winter solstice, birth of the original "Jesus".

We call that wonderful night "yaldA" in Persian. I think the word spoken 
in English is Yule. But cro-magnons take Yule to be of Germanic people 
origin and ascribe some German myth to it while Mithraism was no myth to 
Iranians, it was their religion for a long time; their observation of 
the world and the universe. That's why it has ties to exact moments of 
solstices and equinoctial moments of each year. Iran's calendar to this 
day is based on these observations. That's also why true astronomy began 
and came from the Greater Iran region.

For so many years and centuries and millennia, this night must've been 
the coldest harshest darkest and of course the longest night. Idea of 
Mithra is tied to Sun. To light. And what those miserable people on such 
nights each year desired most was a bit more of the Sun. So they placed 
their God's birthday in the most logical spot in the course of a year, 
right inside that strangely long night. Mithra would come into being at 
the coldest and worst time to bring heat and Sun to those people.

That's the only reason you can still see rays of light emanating from 
behind Jesus' head in all directions. The same rays you see on flags of 
some countries located inside the Greater Iran.

It is only a week away from Yalda Night and here I'm walking in my 
underwears inside my house sweating, because it just doesn't make sense 
to turn the coolers on at this time of the year. I haven't even changed 
their filters. I usually do that in May, not in fucking December! But a 
quick walk around my house and I can hear neighbors' outside units all 
running. Everybody around here has turned on their coolers!

Birds are confused. Bugs are confused. Stray cats are confused. The fish 
in the lakes are confused! Is it mating time? Is it migrating time? Is 
it egg laying time?...

"Why instead of holing up inside an oak nut I can still walk outside and 
bask under the Sun?", insects and flies are telling themselves and each 
other.

"Why I've stored so many pecans and oak nuts inside the trunks and it is 
still so warm?", squirrels and raccoons are asking each other.

Even grasshoppers are confused. I can see that, in a way!

Those long-legged large spiders are all out walking on the cement 
grounds! You know, the ones with an ellipsoidal body the size and color 
of a red bean and a very long set of extremely thin legs holding the 
body a good one inch or more above the ground as their walk gracefully 
on solid ground heated up by Sun. They're all out just like in June. I 
don't know their name. They're larger than the common house spiders. 
Checking with what's available on internet the closest I find is Daddy 
long-leg spider (Pholcus phalangioides) but the latter is more like a 
very light brown color while what I see on the cement blocks as I walk 
have burgundy colored bodies. Their legs are so thin the color of it is 
hard to see. And their bodies are rounder than the much more elongated 
daddy long-leg. It could be what they locally hunt that colors them 
differently cause I see small bugs of stink bug type that are partly 
colored in bright red and partly gray. If the spider is eating these 
bugs it could be getting its burgundy color from them.

Trees are confused also!
