    How kind! Thank you and Blessed be!
    God will grant his blessing still, though we call her what we will.
    We can name it whatso'ere, a spell is nothing but a prayer.
    This one large rudiment, our faith defined by our intent.

    It was a wonderful sunny day here. Thanks for the sentiment.

    I celebrate that now the days get shorter and cooler. I'm a troglodyte by nature.

    Blessed solstice, indeed! I celebrated, among other things, by cracking the seal on a Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban that I was saving for a special occasion. What a great taste and way to welcome the midsummer.

    Was kilted for it and had full intentions of attending a local church's labyrinth walk to celebrate but by the time I got home from a difficult day at work stayed put. Nice though, the labyrinth is there for anyone to use at anytime and, for me, seems to work better with out a crowd of people. And thanks for remembering those of us that do still follow Olde Tyme Religions.

    I never miss the solstice. Make it a point to be up before
    sunrise and also watch the sun go down. We dont get that
    many in a lifetime and never know how many remain for us.
