Summer Solstice

Sunset of the Summer Solstice - Yorkville, IL

The Summer Solstice wrapped up today with a sunset befitting of the longest day of 2019. Though the weather here is still quite temperate, spring has come and gone, and we’re into the second season of our three season pilgrimage.

This passing of the torch from spring to summer is a good reminder that though we may resist the idea of change, it is one of the great constants that swirl around our every moment on this beautiful planet as part of this magical life.

To resist change is to resist the very nature of life itself, for without change, the great creativity of the powers of the Universe would cease to create. With change curtailed to nothingness, creativity and life itself would soon follow.

Sunsets serve as a stark reminder of this universal and immutable truth. Each one is unique, and though their themes may rhyme, the manifestation is much more like jazz than a scale. Theme and variation are part and parcel to the very fabric of life itself.  

Change is always afoot, and it’s been good to sit back and take notice.
