“The Summer Solstice is also known
as “Midsummer” and Litha. It’s the longest day of the year, and it’s the day
when the Sun is at its highest point. The date of the Summer Solstice isn’t
fixed, it’s flexible and it depends on the calendar shift, but it’s always
somewhere between 20 and 22 of June (or between 20 and 22 December if you live
in the Southern Hemisphere).”
"The summer solstice is a time for
strength and vitality for action and movement."- Carole Carlton
“Green was the silence, wet was the
light, the month of June trembled like a butterfly.” – Pablo Neruda
Every
year when Summer Solstice begins, I usually meditate, create art, and
examine nature. However, for the past two years, during Summer Solstice,
I have shifted my energy towards meditating and creating art. A time to
reflect upon the goals and dreams accomplished while preparing a nest
for future hopes, desires, and unanswered prayers.
