We had our
soggy Summer Solstice celebration last Sunday, and on Wednesday night this week my Women's Meditation Group had a
foggy Summer
Solstice gathering. We are having that sort of June here in Maine. Mostly wet and cool.
Women's Meditation meets at
The Stonehouse Manor in
Phippsburg each June for good eats and a traditional sunset walk on
Popham Beach. I have pictures from years past in which we are all smiling and sunlit, standing around sand castles that were built by happy children during the day. This year the beach at twilight looked like something out of a science fiction movie, strewn with whole tree trunks, big torn branches, and hills of seaweed washed ashore during the epic high tides we experienced this week due to strong winds and the new moon. This created a beautifully eerie and mysterious landscape.
As you can see, we enjoyed ourselves. There is something especially peaceful, playful, and powerful about this particular group of women, and I am grateful for their friendship!
Whatever the weather, I hope that you are all enjoying this first week of summer! Have a relaxing weekend!
Must be because I'm a Pisces Sun with a Leo Moon - I am very drawn to fire and water. Nothing like a good old fashioned bonfire on the beach. And if the beach is in Rhode Island, it sure feels like home to me. Love the orange and blue of these pics. My cousin Kathy and her husband Fred have a gorgeous place on Charlestown Beach, and last weekend my sister Sue and I enjoyed a fun night around the fire with family including some of our double cousins. Our cousin Christopher built this impressive sand pyramid and then he and his brother Jon proceeded to entertain us...
