It is the Summer Solstice. Yes it is! I always feel midsummer comes too early at these latitudes. I have barely got my shorts on. However, midsummer it is.
Why not give yourself permission to give your creative spirit some time to play and let the midsummer magic sink in.

Now look at these amazing photos – or maybe you have one of your own – and do some free writing.
Write freely for about ten minutes. Perhaps leave it for a while (take a walk or do some breathing/stretching) then scan through and pick out five or six words, sentences or phrases which seem interesting. Spend 30 minutes playing around with these. Perhaps you will put them down the page like a poem, adding in other words/phrases as necessary. Perhaps you will see if they will lead you into a 100 word narrative which goes across the page.
It doesn’t matter what you end up with. The main thing is to play and enjoy.
If anyone does this and feels like doing so, feel free to put what you’ve done in a comment so it can appear below this post.
Thank you!
