Let the Sun Shine

original watercolor "Power Circle" by Kate Kroska

Musing…
Let the sun shine, let the sun shine, let the sunshine in…remember that Age of Aquarius song?  It is so appropriate for summer solstice, which we celebrate on Monday, June 21.  This is the day (in the northern clime) that has the most light of the year; how will you take advantage of this glorious opportunity to heat up your creativity – to give light for the growth of your creative expression – to let yourself shine as a creative being?

Kate’s turn:  Summer solstice is all about yang energy – expression of yourself, putting it out there, shining for all to see.  It is correlated with the direction of South; the expansion of light during the summer months allows all those planted dreams the necessary energy to come to full bloom, full growth.  Currently I am focusing the light on developing and strengthening a deeper meditation practice for myself by tending to a consistent practice, prompting myself to incorporate these ways into my daily life as well.  It is in this deeper state that my creative ideas and images come forth (the fruit to harvest, so to speak).  I am also shining light on trying a new approach to my watercolors – every day I must stay with it and keep the light on it, as it is challenging, and so easy to give up.  But I want a freshness to my work, so I know that fruit is bound to come forth with consistent practice, consistent light. 

As I say this, I realize I seem to be saying that doing the work, showing up and shining my energy, my light on the challenge at hand is the light we have opportunity to utilize for our expansion and growth.  It’s in me….It is me.  I am the sun, the light I so depend on for vitality and growth.  This summer’s light is correlated with the heart, from where the dreams for expansion originate.  And it is from the heart that we pour our love and light onto these creative seedlings to bring them to fruition.

Get Fired Up:

OK…What is asking for light in your garden of dreams and creativity desires?  How can you laser that light of yours in a more focused way to bring about further growth? 

How are YOU light?  How are you pouring your heart’s love and light out in your world?

Shine on…………
