Solstice: enclosures
The days when the veil lifted
And the soul could see delight;
When a quiver caressed the heart
In the sheer exuberance of being here.
——John O’Donohue
At solstice, the veil between ourselves and greater expanses is thin. in the far north, or south, we can walk in 24-hour light.
Our enclosures expand. Beyond ourselves.

Breath in the immensity, in landscapes and ourselves.
Enklavene
Pause here,
Return here,
Hold this space, these spaces, in your heart.
As
and
Until the veil of the unknown yields
And something original begins
To stir toward your senses
And grow stronger in your heart
