Spring was rough. Luckily for us, Nature shows us the way. After Spring comes Summer — A TIME FOR JOY AND LAUGHTER… these are glad tidings, indeed.

MAKING SUMMER LAST ~~~ ENDLESS SUMMER

The year is moving on. This is both an encouragement and a warning. Change is a part of nature. We can put our trust in what is happening, no need to push or pull. When we follow the flow of nature, we sync with ITS cycle, not OURS>>>

Summer Solstice marks the beginning of the Sun’s decline. And yet, we still have half the year left. There is still so much more sun to enjoy.

LINE 2 ``` teaches us to let go of our attachments to any negativity that may have accumulated in our year so far.

BALANCE ; the end of the year is slowly rolling in like a 6 month wave. we’re already surfing. No more paddling, just toes on the nose ~~~

The strength of fire is in its focus. When fire is focused, it can warm your home, cook food, or light the night. Bring to your awareness a manifestation of fire: fire in a cozy home hearth, or perhaps the fire that flows through wires as electricity. Consider the fire that moves an automobile, or even the fire that cooked your last meal.

REVERE THe fiRe wiTHiN yOU.

Sense your inner fire. Notice the warmth in your belly, your breath, your heart. Feel the warmth in the palms of your hands. Notice how steady your inner warmth can be, and allow it to light your awareness with creativity, inspiration, and upward moving energy.

Nurture your fire so it can light up your life, and inspire others. Sense the energy of fire within you as your inner passion and compassion come into focus.

The three months of summer, they denote opulence and blossoming.

The qi of heaven and earth interact and the myriad beings bloom and bear fruit.

Go to rest late at night and rise early.

Never get enough of the sun.

Let the mind have no anger.

Stimulate beauty and have your elegance perfected.

Cause the qi to flow away,

as if that what you loved were located outside.

This is correspondence with the qi of summer and it is the Way to nourish growth.

Opposing it harms the heart.
