As my Grandmother would say, "the days are getting a chicken step shorter now." What she meant was, this side of the Summer Solstice, we are getting a little bit less of light each day until the Winter Solstice. What does that have to do with chickens?? Grandma always said the the chickens can only get so far (less than yesterday) before they have to turn around and make it back to the hen house by sun down.
I always feel a little conflicted on June 22nd. On the one hand, we have lots of summer left. On the other, we will only get less and less light in our world until December 21st!
Then it hit me on my run this morning...if the sun's light is diminishing, doesn't mean the light I bring to my world have too as well.
In times of lessening light, I intend to bring as much light into the world as possible. I think I will start with being fully present in the moment and will endeavor to give myself away in Love, like I was taught by Christ.
