Happy Summer Solstice!
Happy Summer Solstice!
I have over two hundred photos of sunrises on my phone so I had to narrow it down to one and chose this I took at Goose Island State Park in Rockport, Texas where my parents lived for seventeen years. Pay a visit to the "Big Tree" if you are passing through those parts. Fellow tree huggers - you will be amazed!
A few sentences from my morning writing session:
Happy Summer Solstice!
May the longest day of the year
bring light into your darkness and
hope in the places where you need it most.
Thank you Momma Earth for giving
us the warmth of the sun
And all the cycles and
seasons of our life!
-Holli May Thomas
The summer solstice is one of my favorite days of the year.
As a kid I LOVED getting on my bike at the butt crack of dawn and head out the door to explore the neighborhood until dusk when all the neighborhood kids would gather in our yard to start playing games. Oh the smells and sounds of summer! I am about to hop on my bike after I finish posting this to do a little neighborhood exploration!
Did any of you ever play a game called Ghost in the Graveyard? It is the opposite of hide and seek where one person would be IT and hide and everyone else would stay on home base and start counting one o'clock, two o'clock up until midnight to give the person that was IT time to hide and once someone found them, everyone would have to run back to home base before they were tagged by the person that was found? That was my favorite game to play at night. No wonder my mom wanted us out of the house all day - we would scream at the top of our lungs trying to get back to home base before being tagged.
I hope you find a moment to go outside today and appreciate the treasure of Planet Earth. I had over two hundred plus photos of sunrises on my phone so I chose this one because it show the view from my writing desk in my backyard art shed. Have a super Saturday and a most wonderful day!
