June 21 st

Today is the summer solstice, the day when the light is longer than the night, the first day of summer (at least for us who are in the northern hemisphere).

So the start for this year was calculated at 03:32, because everything depends and is calculated on the position of the sun and the inclination of the earth’s axis.

It is an important day, since ancient times in which magic is sought, the strength of the earth and nature. We think of Stonehenge and other places that are so mystical.

The magical aura that surrounds this day (even if the night of 23 and 24 June (the night of St. John) has a very important meaning for the Christian world) well, we cannot explain it, much less understand it. It is something ancestral and distant in time, and that has been experienced by peoples from all over the world, by the Egyptians, passing through the Mayans … in short, everyone.

Then obviously the scientific explanation of the summer solstice concerns the inclination of the earth’s axis and the declination of the sun, and goodbye to magic! But then after all, in my opinion the magic does not disappear that in the fight between light and dark the first wins for sure, without a shadow of a doubt.

In short, do you want to put the light, the heat, the sun with the darkness, the cold and the night typical of winter? necessarily that in winter it is sad … the days are dark and cold. Do you want to put with the summer, the sunflowers, the sound of cicadas in the sun?

This day then for me represents joy, the beginning of summer, long and hot days, good weather, a cool beer in the evening. All those things that are done in the summer and that for some time I have not been able to do, being sick and not feeling well.

Now enjoying the little things is an achievement and sometimes it is so beautiful that I am afraid that it will end, that something bad will happen. Maybe it’s just a time when I’m fine and I can go back to being sick. Of course these negative thoughts are sometimes there, they come to mind. But as I said before, I have decided that I will not be sick, my rare disease (still unknown) must be dealt with.
