Happy Solstice, everyone!

Daylight comes and nighttime goes
Nighttime falls, day flies
Round and round the cycle goes
We live and then we die
And then we live and then we die.

The seasons of my life go 'round
The sunshine and the rain
The fallow and the fruitful days
The joy and then the pain
And then the joy and then the pain

Daylight comes and nighttime goes
Nighttime falls, day flies
Round and round the cycle goes
We live and then we die
And then we live and then we die.

As light below, so light above
So light in all we see
The light is in the act of love,
The light that sets us free
Yes, it's the light that sets us free.

Daylight comes and nighttime goes
Nighttime falls, day flies
Round and round the cycle goes
We live and then we die
And then we live and then we die.

Libby Roderick, "Song for Summer Solstice." On Thinking Like A Mountain, 1991.

I hope you enjoyed your summer solstice.

We've just had our winter solstice. The days start to longer for us from here. :)
