summer solstice memory and more~

the summer solstice reminds us that

there is a constant cycle of

growth and change 

 forever in our lives

many years ago

my husband and i were becoming re~aquainted

{we were not married then remember...we just stumbled upon eachother after many years passed}

he decided we needed to go for a drive

it was a warm summer night

him oblivious to the day

me knowing and celebrating secretly inside

a beautiful scenery painted the way

after sometime he drove along a gravel road

trees surrounding us

light was leaving

he parked the car
hopped out and said lets go

i look at him a little hestitantly

then opened my door

me~ you know it will be dark soon

him~ and...

i had never wandered the woods in the dark

especially in a place i hadn't known

he began walking and so did i

i could see the sun sinking below the mountain

darker and darker it became

i reached for his hand

gently he guided

the sound of water became louder and louder

till we reached the edge of cliff

{GASP}

him~ now we just need to climb down and then...

i looked at him

this was no little creek waiting below

but a raging river

graced with huge rocks

and a fallen tree lay connecting the sides

its ok...you can do it...follow me

{oh the things you'll do when young and in l♥ve}

i followed

pushing fear in the way back depths of my mind

there at the bottom

he says do you think you can make it to the middle of the log

in my head...NO NO NO...yet what do i say...

ya i think so

i step foot upon this tree

whispering quietly

asking for his help

protect me and keep me safe

one slip and off i go

slowly i made my way

till i approached what i thought was half way there

and then he stopped

i lowered myself

one leg on each side

now feeling grounded

connected to this tree

i looked around

how bright it was for being night

slowly i raised my head towards the sky

tears began to fall

him~ are you alright

me~ i have never seen anything so majestic and pure

the moon high above

shining ever so bright

the sky filled with a million and one stars

the river rushing by

and there i was
 with the
 l♥ve
 of my life

there will never be another night just like so

to me there couldn't be a better way to celebrate the day

with the longest hours upon us

making there way
here
for light to stay

change is yet another cycle

another turning of the wheel

on this day may your fire burn bright

LIT WITH DESIRE AND PASSION
May You Appreciate and Reconize the Abundance in Your Life

slow yourself

READY TO EMBRACE THE COMING OF CHANGE
the season a glow

SOFT LIGHT
Guiding Your Way

may you shimmy and sparkle

AND SIMPLY GROW
Pushing Limits

to your own dismay

A NEW CHANCE TO BEGIN AGAIN
Cleanse and Refreshed

awakened

ALIVE

~wishing you a summer solstice to long be remembered~
