Tonight, we celebrate the Summer Solstice with a gathering of our friends. We begin with a potluck supper followed by ceremony and meditation activities inviting in the light.
Summer solstice is the longest day of the year and the time of the most light. The feeling is glorious!
Each of us in the circle brings an energy of happiness and light that can be shared with the others in the circle, and then can be broadcast out to where ever we wish the light to go.
Part of our activity tonight will include this beautiful poem by Chandra Levy. It begins with the words, “O Radiant sun”. The Sun pushes the light to Earth. It is a great message for summer solstice.
A Nature Lover’s Ode
O Radiant sun
The pure light that you are, that I am
Bathe me, anoint me with the purity of your beam
I am Blessed and enlightened by our ecstatic union
Reflecting and enriching my inner realm
O playful, delicious breeze
Play me as a sacred flute
Accompanied by the strings of my delighted heart
Calling forth the Divine and harmonious notes so dear
Tantalisingly sweet, pure and clear
O creatures of creation
Delight and invite and entice me
With your myriad colours and manifestations of beauty
Sing with me that I may know your song
That we may harmonise and realise we all belong
O dearest Planet Earth
Our devoted Mother
Our precious physical home
May our frequencies align
With the sweetest and deepest of tones
May we peacefully respond, rejoice and revel
In our loving interconnection
Grateful for this life
Grateful for this love
Grateful for this resplendent reflection
