Happy Summer Solstice!

For reasons that I can't articulate well this is my favorite day of the year with Winter Solstice a close second. Guy, the Savage Farmer, described it this way, "The great turning point wherein power and potential exceeds the limits of possibility and the cycle of being turns on a celestial dime." That is as close to an explanation why I love this day as I've ever read.

Here are some lyrics for the day:

"Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it’s all right.
Little darling it’s been a long cold lonely winter,
Little darling it feels like years since it’s been here.
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it’s all right.
Little darling the smiles returning to their faces,
Little darling it seems like it’s years since it’s been here,
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it’s all right.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes.
Little darling I feel that ice is slowly melting,
Little darling it seems like years since it’s been clear,
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
It’s all right, it’s all right.
