How to celebrate Summer Solstice



Here are some thoughts about how to celebrate Summer Solstice from the Journey Oracle.  First, go someplace a little unusual; choose a path not usually taken.


It might be best if this path goes into nature, since after all, Summer Solstice is the Sun's wedding day. Contemplate how old the sun is; take a moment to honor how everything goes old, and also is born.


Try and see something clearly that you do not usually take to the time to notice.  Everything is alive, and turns its face to feel the Sun shining warm. 


Of course life contains risk, but just for this Summer Solstice, feel the support instead of the danger.


 It is good to find someone to celebrate Summer Solstice with you, perhaps a person who works hard, just like the Sun does.  


An invitation to lunch might be just the enticement to have a partner for your celebration.


It's good to keep the setting casual--not too fancy a restaurant--with comfortable seating


and a dress code that is easy to accommodate so everyone can feel relaxed.


Together you might ponder the impermanence of everything, how even this beautifully sunny day is filled with bones.


Yet be sure to look up, and see the bigger vision.  The clouds are just clouds, and the eternal blue sky is not bothered by their passing.
