Sitting out amongst the blooming flowers beneath the fading light. The smell of orange drifts on the breeze from the flower closest to me. Birds are still chirping, but the stillness is beginning to settle, even now. I watch as the trees sway in the wind, the warm air wrapped around me. The breeze is …
Each year, when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, I feel something shift. Not just in the air or in the rhythm of nature, but within myself. The summer solstice marks the height of the light and the start of summer. It’s the longest day of the year and the sacred threshold …
