Rooted in rhythms

Instead, I like to think of these late-summer weeks as a gentle late-summer transition—a time when nature begins to change while still offering us plenty of warmth, abundance and light.

The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year, when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky and the landscape seems to overflow with life. For those of us who follow the rhythms of nature, it is more than a date on the calendar. It is a seasonal threshold, a reminder to slow down, pay attention, and receive the gifts of the season.
