It looks like another solstice has passed. It has been brutally hot, but hopefully relief is forthcoming, in the form of rain; it has been a wee bit too dry this year as well.

I actually enjoy the summer rain. It is refreshing, and a fine break from the summer heat.

The cycle is now waning in this hemisphere, though, and the life that is now flourishing will itself wane and fade as winter inexorably approaches. Across the equator, in the southern hemisphere, it is the opposite, the winter solstice just past, and life promising to return. It is as though life flows back and forth across the eternal spring or summer of the equatorial realm, as the years cycle from solstice to solstice.

There is always new growth, in life, and, hopefully, in you. Life flows, and so should you in life. Life may be finite, but that doesn't mean that anyone should ever stop growing. Love life, as it is its own miracle.
