Time often deceives us. Although the Winter Solstice is the shortest amount of daylight, it’s not the point of earliest sunset or latest sunrise. The website TimeandDate.com reveals the truth of the matter. Where I live, the sun began setting later on Dec. 13th, and began rising earlier on Jan. 12th. How easy to forget we reside on a tilted, hurtling globe, and that our sense of time, direction, space, and motion is entirely relative, if not illusory.
