This past weekend the lengthening light began playing tricks with my brain. 6:45 in the evening felt much more like 5:45. How could it be that late and still be so light??? Oh, that’s right, we’re almost at the Summer Solstice. This weekend we’ll bask in the longest light of the year.
But in order to really celebrate, we need a fire! And not just one in my fireplace! This monumental turning of the year’s cycles deserves to be honored out in Nature Herself. So we’re taking the Gathering on the road. Please join us Friday night, June 19th – just a few days from now — for this month’s Gathering with Spirit at Judy Knight’s home on the Stockbridge/Lee Road. We’ll have dinner together and then circle around the her fire pit, in reverence to the fire of the sun and the welcoming of SUMMER! Don’t forget to e-mail me your RSVP by clicking here so I can send you directions or make alternative plans should it rain. The solstice is one of those magical times when the natural world creates a particular opportunity for the numinous to intersect with our daily lives. But it’s easy to miss as we run between our thermostatically controlled comforts of house and car. Yet these turning points in the year naturally give us the potential for deeper opening into the transcendent. So bring along a poem or bit of writing that’s inspired your life. Choose words you’ve found helpful for illuminating your soul’s consciousness… or ones charged with the power to bring into your life those Light-filled thoughts you wish most to live into during the coming year. Let’s make use of this auspicious time for all the Light it can bring to us and our world! We’ll gather as usual at 6 and circle at 7:30, so come whenever you’re able, with a bit of something to share for dinner or just yourself. Either or both will bless the circle. I’ll look forward, as always, to the Light and inspiration we share with one another in these Gatherings. Blessings abound!
