We have reached Summer Solstice, the point in time when light has fully overtaken the dark. It is now when the sun begins to shift the journey of its arc. Each new day sunlight shines its brightest but begins to linger less. The birds and animals are busy with new life. Fields of crop, orchards, and arbors are approaching their peak of growth. This time of transition is a time of bustle and fullness for all — animals, plants, and us.
As we all enter this realm of dimming, earth’s coming bounty begins to swell to brimming. Hearts fill with a sense of possibility. The long days and warm nights bring a spirit of freedom. Love and laughter fill the air. Even as earth’s daily light grows ever less, the harvest strides towards its readiness. Smiles blend with the toil and anticipation. It is a time of joy, and this year, a critically needed time of personal evaluation.
faint the dimming of the light
days loll long — hearts bright
