🕰 The Dance of Daylight
As we are on the threshold of the summer solstice, the day where the sun, like a reluctant child, lingers the longest before finally setting, I find myself contemplating time.
Not the man-made construct, the rigid tick-tocking of a clock, but the organic, fluid kind. The kind of time that subtly changes the colors of a leaf, shapes a mountain, or gently etches lines on a face.
There's an innate rhythm to nature, an ebb and flow that marks the passage of time in ways far more poignant than any clock or calendar. The bud that slowly unfolds into a flower, the caterpillar that surrenders to its chrysalis to emerge transformed - these are the timekeepers I revere. For they do not merely measure time, they embrace its passage and celebrate the change it brings.
And isn't that a beautiful way to look at it, Kodiak Crossing? Not as something that's running out or being lost, but as something that's being transformed, continuously sculpting us into who we are meant to be.
It's easy to fear change, to yearn for the static comfort of the known. But let's not forget that change is not an enemy but a dance partner. It's the music that invites us to evolve, to step out of the shadows of what was, and embrace the glowing possibilities of what could be.
In the words of the ancient philosopher Heraclitus, "Panta Rhei" - everything flows. Everything is in a constant state of change. And as we step into the longest days of the year, let's celebrate this change. Let's embrace the ebb and flow of time, the dance of daylight, and the transformations it etches onto the canvas of our lives.
For it is not time that defines us, but how we choose to fill it, how we choose to dance with it. Let's groove to "Seasons of Love" from the musical Rent. A song that prompts us to consider how we measure the time in our lives – not in minutes, but in moments, emotions, and love. As we stand at the precipice of summer's full bloom, Kodiak Crossing, let's measure our lives with the love we give and receive. You're listening to Callie at Dawn on KWAC.
