Summer

Days are hot, luminous and long, 

and I sit upon its hours, and bask in little joys all day long. 

I love summer! I was faithfully created out of long hot summer days—summers that have nothing to do with waterparks and water summer activities, of course. Not a drop of ocean water is to be found in my DNA. I’m not a water child; my soul, was born out of ashes and dark soil and of the very bones of the earth.

I suppose that’s why I can never get tired of working it, nurturing it and loving the earth big time through all my senses. Are you an earth child too?

Connected to the north, the earth is considered the ultimate feminine element. The earth is fertile and stable, associated with the Goddess. The planet itself is a ball of life and as the wheel of the year turns, we can watch all the aspects of life take place: birth, life, death, and finally rebirth. The earth is nurturing and stable, solid and firm, full of endurance and strength. In color correspondences, both green and brown connect to the earth, for fairly obvious reasons. 

I will always prefer the earth to the sea. Being in contact with the soil, mountains, forests, valleys and fields fills me with liveliness and strength. The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector of all...

 ...and of course, a garden... any garden:  It reconnect me with my true self.  

 

But when I'm in my very own garden... well, that's something else; something magical and ephemeral and perfectly gloriously ensues time after time... my soul takes root at my feet, as I establish connection with the soil by loving and magnetic touch of my soles to it...

When I'm in my garden, I feel like Thumbelina after eating a mushroom.

What can I say!  I am made of summers and warm breezes under summer evening lights.  

 

Rejoice as summer should… chase away sorrows by living!
