It felt appropriate to spend part of my Summer Solstice planting in the garden, then taking a relaxing bath.
The herbs are growing nicely and it is wonderful time to stop and give thanks for all of the wonderful healing energy they bring us and all the ways they add flavor and health to our lives.
The longest day of sunlight is also a time for gratitude for all that we have received. A time for gratitude for the people in our lives. A time for gratitude for health, love and abundance.
A time to light a candle and relax with a glass of wine and reflect on the polarity between this and the shortest day of the year.
In Shakespeare's play, this would be the magical night of the Midsummer Night's Dream. In Europe, May 1 is the first day of summer. Here they call the Solstice the first day of summer. Most years that seems too late, but this year, with snow until May, it feels like we just started summer.
In the fullness of life, there is much to be grateful for now. The wheel is turning.
