Midsummer's NIght's Dreams

Now is the high-tide of the year,
And whatever of life hath ebbed away
Comes flooding back and ripply cheer
Now the heart is so full that a drop overfills it,
We are happy now, because God wills it.
____James Russel Lowell

The following from Sarah Ban Breathnach:

I love Midsummer's Day (June 24). For me , it's a personal midcourse correction for the year. I wander out into the backyard very early in the morning and pluck a blossom from the garden heavy with dew. With my fingers, I'll pat the dew upon my face, for legend has it that any woman who washes her face in the dew of Midsummer's Day will grow more lovely with the passing year. Fairy cakes are made for tea, midsummer's syllabub (a delightful concoction of cider, lemon, berries, and whipped cream) is prepared for a moonlit picnic, and personal dreams are renewed. Being Irish, I don't dismiss the belief if love charms, magic herbs, and divination, for I know there's more to this world than we'll ever hope to understand. But these days I'm not so much interested in what the future holds as I am in the present.(day 32 of 94) It's July...Wow how time flies. When I found this selection yesterday I was actually looking in June, Wow!

Cathy, I am sending those love charms and magic herbs your way but I have a secret. You my friend already bestow the charm and magic within your kind heart:) Here is more from Sarah: When Midsummer arrives, it's a time to look ahead and dream. Perhaps, if one is lucky, the days ahead will unfold and a "Never to-be-forgotten summer - one of those summers which come seldom into any life, but leave a rich heritage of beautiful memories in thier going - one of those summers which, in a fortuanate combination of delightful weather, delightful friends and delightful doings, come a near to perfection as anything can come in the world. May the potent Midsummer spell never be broken for you and those you love.
