The Longest Day

The phenomenon of summer solstice is set to steal the show in Terra Australis as the festive season approaches. I watch as the darling mother earth jumps into the right orbit; holding the rainbow. And lining up the stars. This is the best preparation I have seen in ages. In fact, there is a gradual build-up to the longest day.

tickling the pulse of the universe

with glee

summer solstice

a thousand shades

of love in summer solstice

midsummer chic

i sit under the sumptuous wings

of summer solstice

sharing the light in silence

Behold a shift in the prevailing winds. The tropical cyclone waxes and wanes. The birds come home to play.  And the sea breeze delights.  There is a burst of energy in the realm as the sun worshippers count their blessings; feeding the restless spirit of desire.

in Findon

the shortest night of nights

summer solstice is born

yet, you sit like a soul possessed

holding up the sky

capturing the moment

with magical light

the eye of summer solstice

The way in which summer solstice influences human affairs is well known. It shapes our destiny; improving our knowledge of the universe; creating the symbols and rituals that facilitate our physical and psychological wellbeing.

tales from the cosmos

the scent of true love

under the light of summer solstice

you are the one

the summer solstice of wonder

painting the sky blue

i feel the presence of summer solstice

whose fragrance

purifies my humble soul
