Beautifully said Jason, I love how this important solar event sparks masterful words to rise and become best supporting actors or actresses, best original screenplay, but our lifetime achievement award the star of the show, goes to ;The Sun.
“The more we listen to the Earth breathing through its ancient cycles, the more we can remember to breathe with it.”
Thank you, Jason, still not too late for me to acknowledge the breathing earth (amazing! ) and stop and give thanks to the Sun , and wish you and Heather, a Happy Summer Solstice celebration 10:42pm!
Thank you very much, Lor. Happy Solstice to you as well. I think we'll be around our little campfire tonight, though I don't know if Heather will stay up quite that late...
Correction: It was too breezy for a campfire, so we sat under the stars and watched fireflies and meteors, both of which were out in surprising abundance. And Heather made it nearly to 10:30.
In my troubled mind roaming into the future, I foresee a world where the sun is no longer a friend and source of life, but has become a fearsome enemy blasting our planet with heat, turning the green to shades of brown, orange, yellow, and white. I see a desert planet coming nearly empty of land life. And it's coming fast.
It's a terrible but relevant thought, Michael, and something I should have considered. I'm not sure the heat we're making necessarily leads to desertification rather than, say, tropical conditions in what are now temperate zones, but the level of disruption will be extraordinary, and desertification will be prominent especially in those areas we've made less resilient. Thank you for the reality check, as always.

No one should go out and stock up on suntan lotion yet. My forecasts generally are biased toward the downside.
