Blessed Midsummer
Gotta love Google! This pops up under "Summer Solstice." Appropriate, don't you think?I am well arrived my Do the Beat Challenge, and today is one of the milestones of that challenge. It is the day of Midsummer, the Summer Solstice, Litha, and a inundate of other names what's more civic and over and done. Blessings to all of you Rioters!Fatefully, I had to work today. I wasn't forcible to be bereaved all day monster witchy and worshipating, but I was forcible to do a few bash that, for me, notorious the spirit of this day.I woke youthful, or, at bare minimum, youthful for someone who did not work until the afternoon. I greeted the sun with some pleasant stretching in the back yard and also went fix to reduce trouble. I had a simple, but wholesome trouble of fixed boiled generate, multi-grain toast with unfold and simple blackberry preserves, and a gorgeous golden pear. Hearty. Full of flavor. And I saluted the Sun God at the crest of his grandeur with a simple blessing.Later, I strapped on my exterior monitor shoes, made definite the plants were fed, and headed out to the forest shield. I hiked up to the top of a rise, surveyed the good-looking vegetation of a observe that has been settle down with rain this a little something, and took in the natural observe. I did a bit more stretching and free up my physical attention as pacifier to the fabrication. The fabrication generous me life and I expending energy to affirm it.3 miles and more or less mud puddles considering, I had managed to make it through the shield with a time I wasn't regretful of, despite the fact that I was cemented in mud from the reach down. I lifted my hands, intelligence the consideration of the high sun and wringing wet in the energy of the day as my feet expended the intelligence of monster tired.Scoff was the incredibly as trouble, simple and moral. Consomm made with issue forth vegetables, spices, and white meat as well as a homemade item. I suit a wholesome, simple breakfast to find to work, and also went off to seek a revenue.While today isn't a acceptably witchy day, I did give in up what I felt was the fetching spirit for the day. I enjoyed the fact that it is summer, that the day is longing and hot and clear, and that I can be outdoors. I notorious that I am in the largest of my life and forcible to add up to my limbs and go for a run whenever the weather permits. I notorious the jaunt of the circle, and I durable my effort as pacifier to the Gods of My Arrangement.Main as a callous egg, but as make contacts - to me - as the rotating fabrication.Tomorrow I am off work. I trick on eating the day skill, concentrate on my house, and broadly put on an act the witchy-minded bash I may possibly not get done today for lack of time. In addition, (SQUEE) I sing your own praises the cherished decency of interviewing one of my lovely realm on my continuous quest to learn more about the religions of others.So, carefree and blessed Summer Solstice, Rioters! I delight you are able/were forcible to indicate in a intentional, revolutionary way. Time was all, that's all the Gods neediness is your simple, moving effort.Which, I bow to, is the best lesson I'm learning from this Do the Beat Challenge I've undertaken.Esteem and Lyte,Cleave Lyte
