A-conjuring Summer in

[sovay]

Happy solstice! We made our offerings to the shortest night and the growing moon in its halo of heat-haze; there are fireflies in the yards here, little stars winking, falling. We carry this light the whole year through. May it be a year when we don't need to hold it quite so hard.

We are good, we are flawed, we are the breath of an imperfect god.

*hugs* A better year.

We had our two not-living-in-Japan children over for a meal, plus the significant other of one of them. It was great to be able to be in the same room together without the shadow of the fear of death hanging over us. (And wow, that's (a) and understatement and (b) a sentence that two years ago I could not have conceived of typing.)

Fireflies are one of the truly best things about early summer.

Happy solstice!

Happy solstice from the flip side! We get a whole extra second of daylight today, which is very exciting.

May it be so!

I've never seen a firefly, but one day. One day.

So say we all, a better year.

I am so happy you saw fireflies. I'm hoping for them in the yard, which is completely overgrown in back, an atmosphere that in other years has produced quite a crop. But we've been having a drought, and I'm not sure how much they like that.

Fireflies! I miss them.

Wishing you joy at the sun's turning.

That's a hope I can get behind.
