Summer and the sun…
Summer has finally arrived and it’s time to celebrate! Recent graduates are beginning their new lives, the summer solstice brought the longest day of sunlight to us and the gardens are growing. Let’s commit to enjoying this season.
(I recently saw an article that talked about the power of one ray of sunlight. Did you know that it takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds for that one ray of sun to arrive on that blade of grass in your yard?)
Everything on earth depends on the sun doing what it does!
That same source that can scorch and burn, as the sun does in the tropics, can also gently enter into the tiniest of cells in a plant and give it life.
With the gift of ever increasing light, nature is showing off in all its beauty. (And even when the sun is hiding behind a cloud, it is always there.)
And so I believe it is with us. The life, the light, within us is always there even if it is seemingly obscured by circumstances in our lives or is hiding behind our fears.
As we enjoy the sun warming our world, let us also enjoy our light, illuminating our lives and those of those around us. This is a time for celebration of all that we have and of all that is available to us. Shall we look towards the sun and let our shadows fall behind us?
Will you let your light shine?
