Summer Solstice 2010 "- Keep your eyes to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows." Helen Keller


"Ahh! FirstRay of Dawn
Awakens the heart
In appreciation of life
This morn of Summer's
portent born.

Yes! Love,
My basket,
Yearning to be filled
With all bliss in the ecstatic
Joy garnered from Earth's
Green delight!

Oh! You
Golden orb,
Bless all life brought forth
In the flowers' promise made known
By fruit and bird song
From now on.

Ha! Smile
Upon us,
Lighten each our heart
That every child is fed and loved;
Embraced in green arms
And bloom bright.

Ahh! First
Ray of Dawn:
Summer's Solstice born.
Earth's passionate embrace fulfilled,
Her covenant song
Our troth."

It depends rather on how you look on things.

It always strikes me that after tonight the evenings will will be drawing on ever earlier, the leaves turning brown, and another year soon
gone for ever.

Meanwhile, walk on the sunny side. Be a mayfly. Gather ye rosebuds... etc. (I am not of course addressing you, but Conductive Education).

You, I know, will keep walking on the sunny side, right through the darkest winter to come.

PS Here's a cheery song, from one of my favourite films of all time) to sing you on your way:

How beautiful a day can be
When kindness touches it!
