It feels like just yesterday we were at aphelion...
Change my mind
You may be asking "But why is it cold at this time if we are closest to the sun?" This is because the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun's Direct rays. Why is this important? Because it is a part of the mind construct of Natures Temple of Time and understanding the Yearly cycle is part of Cosmic Consciousness and aligning with the nature power of light and heat of Helios. Still don't get it? Read more here. Understanding the Perihelion.

147,105,050 kilometers/91,406,840 miles from the Sun
In our annual oval orbit, today we are closer to the Sun than at any other time of the year.
But not by much -- only about 3% closer than at Aphelion, our farthest distance from the Sun six months from now.

Seriously. When the guitar cut in, I'm like, "Wait! Whatβ½ That can't be Adam on bass!"
So I went to Bandcamp to find the album notes, and Tom Monda was credited with guitar on that track.
I've not been familiar with Tom's work before this, so I just joined the subreddit, and I can't wait to dig into the Thank You Scientist back catalog.
(I'm not associated with anyone. I'm just a fan, so I hope this post is alright here. And just to save any confusion I shared the Spotify link to the song I'm writing about, but if needed I can edit or remove any of this post that might violate your community standards.)

During this section of perihelion, I always hear the main theme of Pirates of the Caribbean, anyone else?
" Giver of life and the giver of speed
Ever we take even her gravity
Her glowing beauty is something to see
Bigger and brighter she cometh to me "
