June 20,
2025
Slavic Summer
Solstice
Celebrated
with bonfires but Water is important too
Scientifically,
think of the
Tropic of
Cancer sun
Directly
overhead at noon
Cancer is
a Water sign so it is the yin and yang of opposites
Water is
mutable, changing
Raining
this morning as we astrologically move
From
Gemini to Cancer
Water plentiful
here in the subtropics
Mixed
with heat and humidity
Steam (Air)
and Earthen gifts complete the perfection of elemental balance
Baking
cranberry bread and dancing to the best rock music
Woven
with world folk music is my celebration
Black-eyed
peas (lucky Southern beans)
Are
harvested too
The legume’s
bean-eye
Protecting
us from evil
While
looking at you
And me
Seems to wink
joyfully
Health
and Happiness
SASTIMOS!
