Solstice greetings

 In honor of this longest day, and of the life-giving sun,
a bit from St. Francis of Assisi's Canticle of the Sun...


Be praised, my Lord, through all your creatures, 
especially through my lord Brother Sun, who brings the day; 
and you give light through him. 
And he is beautiful and radiant in all his splendor! 
Of you, Most High, he bears the likeness.


 Solstice blessings of light and life to all of you!
