It strikes me for the first time ever (I can be a little slow, on occasion) that readers of the Convivio Book of Days Blog might be interested in the monthly calendar that I design. It’s printable so you can print it out on standard 8.5″ x 11″ paper (standard in the US, at least) and pin it to your wall. A real wall, with a real pin. We are big on “real” here at Convivio Bookworks.
These monthly calendars are the foundation of the Book of Days project. The first one was in October 2003. You’ll find all of the old calendars at www.conviviobookworks.com in the Book of Days Archive pages. This month’s Book of Days calendar focuses on one of my favorite Shakespearean works, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, for this is the month for such dreaming. It’s a month where the traditional reckoning of time gets confusing for people: How can midsummer come at the start of summer? The calendar explains, as will the chapters that will be published this month here on the blog, especially as we get to St. John’s Day, the counterweight to midwinter and Christmas. The year is all about balance in a circular nature. It’s all about seeing things slightly differently. We become better for doing so.
