Summer Solstice the Longest Day- Is it Downhill From Here?

Summer solstice, June 21st, is the one day of the year with the longest daylight hours, and now as we transition into summer our days become shorter until finally the pendulum swings back toward longer days again at the winter solstice on December 21st.

It seems odd that just as we are entering the summer months that our days are already getting shorter.  This appears to be almost a cheat of our enjoyment of the time of year.  After all, this is the time we take vacations, go hiking and camping, and sit around the campfire on a warm summer nights sharing stories and singing songs.

Our world and our life cycle has many parallels, and life is laid out in a way that makes a lot of sense when we look at it as something complete.  Since the Winter solstice we have had two seasons: one of stillness and one of initial growth.  If we look at our human experience the first season is like our infancy – there is a lot going on but most of it is inward growing, a time of preparation before we take those first steps into the world.  Spring is much like our childhood, with plenty of rain to encourage new growth, but without the scorching effects of the sun, giving us time to grow on many levels before we have to endure the intensity of the sun.

So now we enter the third of four seasons, a transition marked by the summer solstice.  When we look back at childhood we can see that we are taught many things and given many opportunities to experience life.  From this we learn more about ourselves, what we excel at and what gives us passion.  As we move into the adult years we give more attention and energy to those parts of our life that give us what we need, mostly the physical things like income, but also relationships and spiritual growth.   The more we discover and focus on what is ours and let go of the whole buffet of options in life the simpler our life becomes.  We don’t need more time, we just need more focused choices.  We refine our world, yet grow deeper in our wisdom every moment.

So as we move through our summer months we can enjoy the intensity of the sun and the warmth of the day, and as we move forward into shorter daylight hours let’s reflect on how much we have enjoyed this time, how much we have learned, and how many wonderful experiences we have gathered.

Comments about past Healing Drum Retreats

"There were many opportunities over the weekend for insights and recalling my own forgotten spiritual experiences. This gave so many chances to ask questions, and the hosts of this event, Estee and Kaye, were very gracious and giving of their time".

"I had the chance to ask, in private, about something that has bothered me for years. Estee tuned right into the experience and beliefs I carried, offering insights to help me see those events more clearly. I immediately felt a shift in my life."

"Kaye is such a giving soul, I see her as a shining light so full of love".
