Midsummer
What-ho gentlefolk!
Here we are at the zenith of the sun and it just seems all go for me and many folk I know.
I have been taking great joy in exercising my body (swimming twice a week for nearly three months now!) and mind (signed up to the uni library again!) recently, and in midsummer gatherings with friends for the pleasures of good conversation, storytelling, mead and roasted meats...along with the scent of woodsmoke from the garth fire (weather permitting!). It's been satisfying to help cook for folk, to share food and laughter and to connect with things beyond that of our material senses and appetites.
In short, I am feeling more alive than I have for many a moon.
I wonder how much the YS prep adrenaline rush is contributing to that? ... ;o)
Looking forward to the event, to some holiday time, and to future quests, experiences and understandings!
