Summer Solstice 2010

Midsummer, the Summer Solstice is fast approaching those of us in the northern hemisphere. The solstices are probably the most anciently celebrated holidays world-wide. They fall on the same day everywhere, except for the hemispheric reversal. And outside the tropics for the most part the solstices seem to symbolize the same mythic meaning: the eternal circle of life that is born, grows, flourishes, declines, and dies, only to repeat the cycle again.
