Happy Summer Solstice

 HAPPY SUMMER SOLSTICE!!

Summer Solstice (AKA Midsummer), is a day I look forward to because it's the official start of summer and nicer weather in the Pacific Northwest where I live. The down side however, is days are getting shorter and it won't be long until cold, gloomy, gray, rainy weather returns. The Pacific Northwest has beautiful mountains, forests, waterfalls and nature and I realize that would not be possible without the rain. So, I accept the cold, gloomy, gray rainy days and as philosopher Marcus Aurelius once said, "There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control."  

 

Summer Solstice - Limerick & Haiku

HAPPY SUMMER SOLSTICE!!

I like to think of the summer solstice as a time to reflect on how lucky humans are to have planet earth. Throughout time, summer solstice has been a time to celebrate earth’s bounty and fertility. Sadly humans have forgotten how to live simply with hardly a thought for the future. With that in mind, I composed the following limerick & haiku.

Humans are supposedly intelligent

But our hubris is quite malignant

And if we don’t find

Humility in time

We’ll be dust in a New York minute

Respect planet Earth 

It's not an all-you-can-eat buffet

If not now then when?
