summer solstice, from Wikepedia It’s the summer solstice today, 21 June, the longest day of the year in the Northern hemisphere, the earth tilted so that the Sun rises early and stays late, the first day of summer.
Loren would be celebrating this major planetary phenomenon for sure. Maybe he IS celebrating. Wherever people are gathered to pay homage to the sun, the earth, the healing powers of the goddess, Loren might be there. He may even be at Stonehenge, that spiritual place in England, built between 3000 BC and 1600 BC, a prehistoric sacred calendar and worship circle that he talked about every year at this time. Maybe his wish to visit there has come true.
He’d be there to celebrate the light and the bounty and goodness of our planet. He'd be performing sacred rituals, dancing at sunrise. He loved the earth as his mother, protected her, advocated on her behalf, hiked to his death with her. My brother was on a beautiful Florida trail by the Aucilla river when his soul departed to the heavens. So now he might be soaring over Stonehenge with the eagles, too, soaring free from earthly struggles wherever there is beauty and magic in the universe. It’s what I want to believe. The summer solstice and Loren together.
