June 21 marks the greatest amount of sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere. Depending upon your mindset, the day is either the beginning of summer or the beginning of darkness.
There are so many good things about summertime: fresh produce, long twilight, fireflies, beach days, porch sitting. Gotta say, though, the only part of that I fully endorse is the long twilight. Otherwise give me a brisk morning and a forecast that includes snow.
I'm still a little bit shaken about the Anansi story below. It might have come off my fingers, but it was Anansi all the way. Scary to be divinely inspired, honestly. It's an outcome of the magickal work I've been doing ... but wow. Still unexpected.
Ah well, may the joys of Solstice be with you and yours. Here comes the heat. Let's get out of the kitchen!
the days get shorter from here on out. :(

ReplyDeleteNow the darkness slowly returns to our world. Encroaching on the daylight until the coldness envelopes our bodies and souls. The light wanes and the clouds thicken until the dead of winter is upon us.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand it is warm and sunny and the beer is cold!
Solstice blessings to you and Mr J and the girls!
