Summer Solstice
I spend so much of my life looking aheadβ toward the next task, the next worry, the next thing that needs my attention. But on Litha, I try to pause. I sit in the warmth of the sun, listen to the bees among the foxgloves, and let myself notice how green the world has become. For a moment, I stop measuring my life by what remains undone. Instead, I give thanks for all that has survived the winter, for all that has grown quietly, and for the simple gift of standing beneath a midsummer sky.
Blessed Litha, everyone. Today is the summer solstice here in the Northern Hemisphereβ or midsummer, or whatever you choose to call it. And in the UK, itβs hot, hot, hot. βοΈ

It is so easy to treat our lives like a never-ending to-do list, but there is something incredibly healing about just stopping to look at how much you've managed to grow and survive without even realizing it β¨
We must always be grateful to the forces at work, beyond us, to keep the wheel turning. I love this. Love, Virg
