Litha - Midsummer
Living With the Seasons (series)
There was a time when when we all lived in tune with the seasons.  There was no beginning or end, just an ongoing cycle where one season blended into the next, each preparing us for the next stage.
From Litha/Summer Solstice (June 21) to Lugnasadh (August 2) we prepare for the first harvest.  In the old tradition, and even in some rural areas today, the children are out of school and ready to assist with the harvest. Â
What will be ready first?  Summer fruits and vegetables are ripening almost faster than they can be picked.  Are you starting to see a renewed advancement in your new skill?  If you've been looking for a new job, are the resumes starting to produce inquiries from companies ready to hire?
What are you ready to harvest now?  What are you ready and willing to allow into your life?  Maybe a seed was planted that you didn't realize was in the mix earlier in the year.  Will you harvest this new fruit and enjoy it anyway?  Or will you let it die off because it "wasn't in the plan"?
At Midsummer the sun’s power is at its highest, so what better time to celebrate your power? What skill do you have that you could bless another? Mow the lawn for an elderly neighbor or cook a meal for a busy mom. What do you have to offer someone else? Remember, the more we give, the more we receive. And, the more we give, the more blessed humanity is as a whole.
Living with the seasons is also living intuitively. It’s following the inner voices and the outer shifts, looking and listening for signs that point us in the right direction.
