The summer solstice: longer days and shorter nights, warm rays of sun and light touching the earth for more hours each day.
At this time we rejoice and celebrate for the long winter nights are behind us as the the seasons change and bring with it the cyclical nature of growth, death, and rebirth; in fact, the balance of life itself hangs on nature’s wings.
I’ve always thought of summer as a magical time of year, a time to resort to my childlike ways, splashing in puddles after warm summer evening rain showers, riding front seat on a coaster screaming the entire way down the terrifying but oh so refreshing first drop, spending lazy afternoons by the pool with family and friends, reading the book I can never seem to finish but it’s always in my pool bag, kayaking down cool refreshing creeks screaming and laughing at the feeling of the cold water on my skin…but this year I feel a little different.
Don’t get me wrong I am overjoyed that tomorrow is the first day of summer!
I would be even happier if the Pennsylvania weather would bring sunshine and rainbows rather than flash flooding and tornadoes, but as I said I feel differently…summer IS arriving differently.
There has been a storm of activity in my life and the lives of those I hold dear to me: sickness, loss, change, anger, bitterness, anxiety, attachment, denial, questioning, dishonesty, but yet through all of this just as the seasons change, and spring turns to summer, life continues forward and we manage to survive this crazy life and come out much better on the other side, by linking our arms, sharing our love, and creating a stronger more bonded group of kindred spirits…you are my family…you are my tribe! ❤️
Take a breath of the warm summer air, look up at the sky, and know your angels are looking down on you and try to comprehend that everything happening in your life at each and every moment is part of the divine master place. Even when you don’t understand how all the pieces fit together…trust…and believe…but most of all know that you are blessed beyond measure.
