As the southern midday sun sets the world ablaze
Powerful energy ignites life’s abundant filled days
So comes this joyous transformation
A pure burning source of celebration
Poem by Joanna Funnell ©
The seeds of new beginnings that were planted in the spring are now beginning to manifest as they reach their full potential. The vibrant summer energy warms the earth & allows all life to be rich in its abundance, a wonderful time for joy & celebration.
