Blessing for Summer Solstice
Dear Friend,
May this turning of the Earth remind you that light returns not in haste, but with grace—gathering slowly across the curve of days, until it meets you fully in a moment like this. On this longest day, when the sun stands still upon the horizon, may you remember the still place within you that does not waver with circumstance or season.
May you feel yourself held in the great rhythm that shaped the stones, stirs the tides, and silently unfurls the petals of every wildflower. Just as the ancient ones watched the sky for signs, may you too look up, not only for direction but for wonder. For the sky does not give answers—it gives presence.
Let the light that pours over the fields and slips into the hollows of the land find its way into your weary places. May it warm what has grown cold in you, and call forth the sleeping seeds of hope you had almost forgotten. May this day bless you with a deep knowing that the light you seek is not only above you, but within you, waiting to rise.
May you walk gently into the season ahead, not in pursuit of perfection, but in reverence for the slow unfolding of your own soul. And may you carry the radiance of this day into the quieter hours that will follow—so that even in the shadowed times, you will remember that the light has not left you.
