Fire, Midsummer is here!
Every year we celebrate the Sun movements and cycles, both as a moment of Prayer and Gratitude for our Life, and as reflection of our own (Birth, Growth, Maturity, and Decline), and Nature’s cycle.
We mark and create Rituals to keep in touch both with the Inner and the Outer Reality, to keep in Balance, to clear once more our Path, re-set our Intentions, and thank Earth, the Sun, and all the Elements and Beings for their Gifts.
Here a few “inspiration key words”:
Refresh yourself, your Alter, your Home,
invite Light into your Being, into your Life, and into Earth,
stay Outdoor and intake the Sunlight if it is there, the Energy if it is not,
have an Air bath or a Ocean bath, (or them all),
have a barefoot walk ,
visit a place from where you can see the Sunrise and the Sunset,
and bless them both.
Give Offerings to the Animals, and the Nature Beings.
Do or create something new.
Meditate for Peace and Harmony.
Make a circle of Beauty(ful things) in front of you to contemplate,
and a Fire, or Living Lights, to
share with yourself and others…
Drum , sing your favourite songs and dance,
eat delicious food, drink favourite drinks,
share your achievements,
reflections and Intentions for the next Sun cycle,
My Earth day celebration turned out completely different than expected.
So, from plan A, I moved to plan B, and was ready for plan C, or no plan .
I got involved with a group of young artists, enviromental activists and lovely women, in a form of art and decorative/symbolic happening, a nest building in a dome.
This was part of preparation for the next day, where performance and play with kids and kidslike souls would happen.
Energy, talk, and work were good, and interesting, suddenly my friend and I had become part of the group, swinging in the same wave.
The seaside was filled with people enjoying the Sun.
And as a sweet “miracle”, unexpected, small children started popping up with their parents…
the dome became alive…
they came, and went, and came, and went… and came again…
Their curiosity, their behaviour, their movements and eyes, told us that we were working on “the right thing”.
A little funny strange “temple of wander”, where they could BE, and EXPLORE…
I realized what a “gift” we had been creating, and how much we had honored Earth by giving a “space of wander ” for one of the most important spices, the INNOCENT ONES.
It is coming up , on April 22, worldwide, a day of symbolic Union.
Why a day dedicated to Earth?
To remember and refresh our Connection, and our Respect.
To celebrate and honor our Lives while we are here.
There are so many things we are given, and we can thank Earth for!
It is our Home, our Planet.
It provides us with Room to be, Food, and Drink.
It is there before us, and will be after us.
It heals us always, if we ask it.
It gives us Beauty, and Inspiration.
It is Home for All our Relations, the Green, the Animals, the Rocks, the Elements, us Humans.
We will walk to the Center for this day,
in Silence,
carrying Gratitude and Blessings for all the Beings we cross,
to one of “my” Sacred Places,
then we will move to a large Rock, big Mama, an old Friend.
We will gather in a Circle to refine our Energies, and create Connection.
Some time will be spent on our own,
The rest will be given as a present to her through meditation, songs and dance, and Offerings.
We will end by the Sacred Fire, sharing Food and company.
BRING with: small offerings ( for example: rice, vegetable, feather, rocks, water, things that do not pollute)
drums and rattles, something to sit on, a piece or two of DRY WOOD, food, drink, what you know you need. A plastic bag

ANYONE IS WELCOME, as long as you can respect the others, and what is going on. Are you “new” in this? Fine!
My Father’s heart had stopped, and Mother and I sat in the hospital room, waiting for news.
At that time I was atheist, nothing or no one to convert my “prayers” to, no beliefs, no religion, no spirituality, so I got surprised and chocked once I realized what had been going on.
Me? Praying?
Father was brought back to Life, and again Gratitude filled me, and was sent/given? to something, someone… somewhere…
The word “prayer” may feel “right” to some, “false” to some, “unknown” to some…
Reflecting…
If prayer is… “intense, honest and focused attention towards a “positive” effect on someone or something”?
(One kind…then other sorts of prayers exist …)
Then…Can we?…
And may we?…
… “judge” what is “right and wrong”, and freely send “positive thoughts”?
…whether…we believe we got “God” inside, we believe in “God” outside, we got “no God”,
…or we believe Quantum results…
“Wishing good” (little prayer) can only be positive and fruitful!
