MidSummer to Lughnasah part 1

this season since MidSummer is High Summer.
Long days, hot days, strong sun, intensity.
As we get closer to Lughnasah, 
suddenly there is a potential crispness in the air
and the presence of autumn lurks.
Fawns are halfway grown, but still with spots. 
But it is consistently about the now, the present. 
Wholeness is here always.
And the fractures of spirit and environment all around us,
are still all around us,
yet our focus remains,
grounded in gratitude,
respect and love.  
Finally we have had some rains but the temperature
had to exceed 100 degrees first.
Now that all is hydrated again, the birds sing more fully. 
Everything seems to breathe more deeply. 
And we do not need to hide from the sun.
Respect the heat and the heat index.
Respect the light and its strength.
Respect yourself.
