Summer Solstice

I love how summer just wraps its arms around you like a warm blanket.

Summer Solstice marks the longest day and the shortest night of the year and the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.  It is at this time that the sun is at its most northerly point in Earth’s sky. 

A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows.

The word solstice comes from the Latin words sol “SUN” and stitium “STANDING”.  On the summer solstice the “sun stands still”.  As the days lengthen and the sun’s path stops advancing northward, for several days before and after each solstice, the sun appears to “stand” still in the sky.  

Be like a flower, turn your face to the sun.

Summer solstice symbolizes rebirth and the return of light.  It is a time of renewal, a time for happiness, and a time for hope.  

Happy First Day of Summer!
