How full is your glass?
This week we celebrate the summer solstice, the longest day of the year.
As I reminded my yoga class of this upcoming day, someone responded, “Oh, I
hate the summer solstice. It means the days are going to start getting
shorter.”
Yipes!
What other wonderful things do we dismiss as being negative
because it is bringing about a future change? Do we cry at our child’s eighth
grade graduation through dread of having a high schooler? Do we lament our
first grey hair because now we are old? Do we skip a milestone celebration
because we don’t want to think back on happier/better/younger times?
Don’t miss a celebration NOW because of a fear that is in the
future. Enjoy the long day. Enjoy the sweet summer nights. Eat a fresh-picked
tomato (it’s lunchtime and I’m hungry . . .) And watch the news on Wednesday to
see if you can catch my daughter and me Surya Namaskar-ing our heart-centers
out with a few other folks (like 1500) in New York’s Times Square. Woo hoo,
longest day of the year!!
