I’ve
always wondered what was May Day so I looked it up over the weekend. A verbatim from Wikipedia is as follows:
“May Day is a public holiday usually celebrated on May 1. It is
an ancient northern hemisphere spring festival. It is also a traditional spring holiday in
many cultures. Dances, singing, and cake are usually part of the celebrations
that the day includes.
In the late 19th
century, May Day was chosen as the date for International Workers' Day by the Socialists and Communists of
the Second International to commemorate the Haymarket affair in Chicago. International Workers' Day may also be
referred to as "May Day", but it is a different celebration from the
traditional May Day.”
What
was my weekend interest in May Day?
A
realization that I’m just too darn busy with the analytical side of my brain
overpowering my creative side. I have
been struggling lately in writing my middle-aged man reflections and this
struggle will continue for the next couple of weeks. Afterwards, there’s a good chance I’ll take
some time off to reacquaint myself with normal life.
So,
in less than a month, I’ll see you next May Day.
Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum
