perhaps a word about the third one (guess borut would have more to say about it): there is a superstition that if one keeps fern seed on the solstice night, they're able to understand the animal language. that moth may have been a messenger... :)
OK, you're the 5th person I've seen writing about the solstice. (I did too) - It's nice - you see so many ideas on the same thing. We should do that some time on purpose. :)
3 comments on the same subject - very good. The first one is very short and precise (wonder how it would do in japanese?). It always nice to have some superstition - it gives colour to our everyday life.
ah, ashi, i missed your comment before - thank you for your kind words and the interesting thought - funny how the most ordinary things once expressed stir up our imagination...

pris - glad you do... thank you.
kai - thanks... i'll come check it out :)
pat - thank you. the problem is, the fern has spores (don't think these account for seed)...
andrew - guess it's normal we try to record a date like the solstice... thanks.
vaughn - thanks. making you giggle is good enough for me :)
floots - i'm usually completely unconscious so early in the morning, and you are able to post such great comment... many thanks.
