Happy Summer!

I wish you all a beautiful lovely summer!
Enjoy every day, every breath, the wind in the trees, being outside, swimming as much as you can and feeling that delicious lightness when your gravity shifts in the water, smelling the cut grass, listening to all the different birdsong, crickets and buzzing insects, eating fresh fruit and vegetables, yummy!
Summer is so full of memories from childhood and they come over me like waves. Halcyon days of reading and bicycling, picnic-ing, picking berries, wandering around picking wildflowers for the house...
A Swedish Summer is to me quintessential.
Svensk sommartid.
Ha det bra!

Full Moon and Summer Solstice

For a while circumstances have kept me away from the computer and the internet in general.
Not necessarily a bad thing. In fact I found it quite liberating.
Not checking my e mail more than weekly, taking a break from blogging etc. It was a nice break.
Now I am back but less frequently and that feels just right.
Balance is what I am striving for.
Equinoxes and Solstices are about balance. Light and dark, day and night, seasons, growth, rest, dualities, yin and yang. Mainly however it is balance and it is delicate.
We depend upon a healthy balance. That is why we need to focus every day on the issues that we have to address regarding our home our terra firma. This is not just "our" planet but all living things.
I know I am stating the obvious, but I have found that when you get caught up in the daily carousel of living it is easy to forget. To forget about balance.
