The air is heavy today and I'm also feeling off.
Smoke from wildfires has rolled in again, and everything feels a little dimmer—physically and emotionally.
It’s wildfire season here… and while I’m safe where I am, I’m deeply aware that others are not. My heart is with those facing evacuations, those who’ve lost homes, animals, and so much more. That's heavy in the air too.
Summer is my most favourite season and while I try to get out more, lately it's not as much as I like. I crave the sun so much and yet sometimes it's shadows that keep me inside, sometimes poor air quality.
Without the sun and being out in the fresh air or even being able to open windows, I struggle and feel off. It brings up old patterns… of feeling stuck, suffocated, overwhelmed.
But I also know this: Even when the light is hidden… it’s still there.
This has been my lesson over and over lately: that there are seasons when the light feels so far away—but it never fully leaves. Even when life is smoky, still, or uncertain… the light we carry within is real.
That’s what the Summer Solstice reminds me of.🌞
It’s the longest day of the year not because life is perfect, but because the light persists.
As we approach June 21, I’m preparing a gathering that holds all of this: the grief, the beauty, the shadow, and the sacred spark we’re here to keep alive.
Wherever you are today—smoke or sunshine—I hope you feel a thread of light within you.
If you’re called to be in sacred circle with others who are honoring both the radiance and the realness of this season… I’d love for you to join us.
