... Sophia & Summer Solstice

Special Issue
 

 
 

The Summer Solstice is hours away. I know this not only because of our local weather people, but also because of the certain way my heart beats now. Slower, richer, and with, it seems, a more direct, more unwrapped connection with my eyes. And yes, even my soul.

Sophia, Wisdom, has her time now. In this season of dews, this humid time of growth, of saturated colors, and soft breezes she reminds us of her presence. We absorb her gifts which find the fertile parts of our hearts, our souls, and then linger in that process that starts with seed, blossoms, and then ends with seed.
