Belinda: In the past, I haven’t really paid much attention to the summer or winter solstice. However, as I’ve gotten older, I am hyper aware of the passage of time. Your post has inpsired me to establish some new rituals to commemorate the summer solstice.

Hi Belinda,

So cool to see the lightness go into evening, even if it then gets shorter and shorter.

I went on my daily walk as I usually do and then one during the evening w/Jimmy. It’s a cherished time when I get disconnected to technology and connected to my own ideas for stories, op-eds, books, etc.

Sometimes I wonder where this rush to embrace more and more technology is leading us. Thanks! G.

Ah, while I didn’t remember it was the summer solstice, I did celebrate it by sitting outside on my porch. At this time of year, we don’t get too many days where it’s comfortable enough to be outside, but it was yesterday. I watched the birds eat at my feeders and the hummingbirds chase each other around the butterfly plant and the wind toss the tree leaves in sun-sparkled light. It’s good to be home.

Happy belated summer solstice, Belinda:~) BTW I loved this paragraph:

“I predict a day steeped in smiles and the sweet scents of sunshine. Today will be a day of saffron-stained sunrise and a sunset suffused with streaks of scarlet and silver. I could simply sit and stare at it all — satisfied in splendid silence.”

I’m ever so glad, I’ve conquered my childhood lisp over the “s” sound. I read this paragraph aloud over and over again with joy!

Hi Belinda! I love this day too. This year I decided it’s the perfect day to end my blogging hiatus.

I have observed it since I was about 14 and I enjoyed this post very much! Thank you Belinda
