Happy Summer Solstice! Here in the northern hemisphere it is the longest day and shortest night of the year, when light reaches its peak and begins to decline. We celebrate the Solstice to honor the balance or light and dark that together create the rhythm that moves the world.
It is a time of culmination, and of deep shifts. And Happy Fathers’ Day! My own father died when I was five, but my life is filled today with wonderful fathers, including my husband David, my housemate Bill, and so many great men–and parents of all genders–who take responsibility for nurturing and caring for the next generations.
So let’s light the Solstice fires, and dance for a shift that will bring us into balance, with the earth and with one another, so that all those young lives may thrive!
