“The sigh of all the seas breaking in measure round the isles soothed them; the night wrapped them; nothing broke their sleep, until, the birds beginning and the dawn weaving their thin voices in to its whiteness.”—Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

Happy Summer Solstice! It's 9.24am on the 21st June and at this moment in the UK we're tilted as much as we can be towards the sun. Where I live we'll have about 16 ½ hours between sunrise and sunset today.

I had surgery a couple of days ago and I'm waiting for some test results, and life has felt quite heavy and challenging this week. So I'm going to do a bit of leaning into the light today. I'm going to have a day where I do no work or tasks and instead I'm going to make sure I spend some time amongst flowers and trees, encouraging my mind and body to recuperate for a while. I'm wishing you all some respite from your cares and tasks, and if needed, perhaps to feel a little lighter in your heart xx

Here's my altar dressed for the day.
