The sun reached its highest position in the sky yesterday, June 20^th.  Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year and the days only get shorter from now until the Winter Solstice arriving on the 21^st of December, (the shortest day of the year after which the days get longer). We have transitioned into the height of the summer adorned with heat advisories and record breaking temps.

This morning’s call time was 5:36am. So Matt, Granmama Chris and I walked to the beach to watch in wonder and awe as a pink sliver began to brighten the horizon and the round edges of the sun began to emerge. Somehow I thought we would be the only ones out that early to enjoy the sunrise. As if we are the only ones who know about this breathtaking sight…There were clumps of men, women, children and dogs scattered at the ocean’s edge, pointing, embracing and witnessing the light ease above where the sea and sky meet. Watching the sunrise is one of those natural phenomena that humbles us, amazes us and unites us. So find one morning this summer, wake up early and begin the day with the sun.

Namaste,

Emily
