In honor of the longest day of the year, this Summer Solstice, I am admiring be green trees. The wind that blows through them. The puffy multi colored grey clouds that float by. The sun peeking through the array of grey and making the green grass an even brighter green. The gorgeous red Cardinal that flew past me.

It is a day of deep breathes and thoughts of the future. I am hopeful for the season to bring change. I am ready for what the new season will put upon me. I am ready to bend at its newness, and excited for its renewed power. I trust in it.

My first Summer Solstice in North Carolina.
