Summer Solstice Felicitations

Summer Solstice

…in the UK is on Sunday 20th June
the exact moment when the sun is at the northernmost point
from the earth’s equator will be at 4:32am

wishing to send greetings of love and empowerment to all
in these oddly extra ordinary times:

the noble truths of impermanence and
suffering may appear more obvious. . . .

we have been counting our blessings here
staying close to community: friends, neighbours and strangers
and seeing what is most naturally of benefit to all
. . . .so often it’s the little things. . . . .

Timbuk 3  The Little Things (1991 3mns 50)

simple seems super sweet
a holiday in a northern town with old friends
an almond croissant dipped in coffee
a walk in the park

Bobby Darin Things  (1962  2mns 30)

some of the books we’re reading. . . .
   
exploring our neighbourhood
seeing the familiar with new eyes
is an inspiration

seeing oneself anew too…

…visiting friends, & exploring their environment:
always uplifting to be out of one’s usual habitat
Formby beach dunes

. . . .and a picture from the studio: what might it be….?

Namaste,
thank you for visiting

the beautiful work above is by the radical teacher/activist/Catholic nun
Sister Corita Kent   (1918-1986) here’s some more from her archive. . .
