Solstice Silence

Describe the longest night of the year from the perspective of an animal or nature’s element.

December brings with it the winter solstice, the night when darkness outlasts daylight. How does the longest night look from the perspective of a fox in the woods, or a lonely tree at the top of a hill? What emotions does this ‘crowning of darkness’ evoke, and how does it affect them? The themes for exploration could include nature, adaptation, resilience, and the awe of natural events.
