Look What I Found Online This Week

I haven't had a lot of time to surf the web this week. I've been making preparations for another event this weekend. I did find a couple of interesting things to share though...

Today is the summer solstice. For some, it is an opportunity to slow down the world’s frantic pace, connect with nature and marvel at the mysteries of the universe. For others, the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, one that marks the beginning of summer, is a chance to party all night long. Whatever you choose, enjoy the day and have a safe and happy weekend!

  1. What a beautiful song-story, Bonnie... I especially love the aspect of returning the errant "child" by centering them on their forgotten song. If only we could respect such fundamental circles in our so-called modern societies more concerned with punishment than true reparation. Blessed Solstice!

    1. I thought it was an incredible story. I agree that our 'civilized' cultures in the west have drifted away from our roots. We could all learn a lesson from these gentle people.
