Summer Solstice Greetings, from our friend Rev. Tony McNeile at the Unitarian Earth Spirit Network:

“On Saturday at about 3.48am, the sun will rise and we will celebrate the Summer Solstice. I hope you may be able to go and witness the event and give thanks for the life and warmth that the sun brings to us.

The sun feels close to us as we enjoy its heat. The skies are blue. Our spirits are lifted.

Of course there is a lurking danger that the world is becoming too hot – while some say this is a precursor to a new ice age.

Let us enjoy the sunshine but may it also be a reminder to live responsibly on this fickle planet of ours – which is made more fickle because of humankind’s carelessness with its gifts.”
