Simmering Summer Sounds
As we near closer to the Summer Solstice, the element is strong. The longest hours of daylight are upon us, drawing us out to bask in the sunshine and wide open skies. Enjoy walking barefoot on the warm soil, splashing in rivers and seas and drying off in the sun. Nature is in full growth, bursting with colour and vitality! Celebrations and festivals fill the horizon and our days are speckled with sunshine and merriment. Campfires, dancing and music. Bees, flowers and blossom. Leaves gather light, bees gather nectar and through them an alchemy takes place. Offer thanks to this deep restorative nourishment from the warmth and power of the sun.
