Summer
Solstice
The Sun
now exerts its maximum power upon the Earth's northern hemisphere as
its rays strike us head-on. The time of full outward physical manifestation
dominates. The powers of inner contemplation are at their lowest point,
and everywhere are the energies of doing, of exerting the will.
The Sun
moves from Gemini into Cancer, signaling the point of Solstice,
of maximum solar energy for this year. This was the ancient time of
celebration, of outward joy in the fullness of life, the richness of
our worldly blessings.
It is just
as true for us today. As we experience the warm, full power of the Solstice
Sun, we are called to make true on earth the words of the Master Jesus,
"I and the Father are One." To understand this is to recognize the divinity
in everyone we meet. Use this day to see God in each face that you greet.
