Sol + stice derives from a combination of Latin words meaning "sun" + "to stand still." As the days lengthen, the sun rises higher and higher until it seems to stand still in the sky.

June 21, 2011 First Day of Summer, enjoy the day and seize the moment!

Summer Solstice 2011

by Amber "V" Moonstone

June 21, 2011

The beach is rocking,
bands playing at the Pavillion,
pounding out song after song,
filling the air with melodious sounds.

I stand on the deck,
overlooking the ocean,
watching all the beachcombers
and see the beautiful view of Long Island.

It is late afternoon,
and I have had more sun
than I should have,
but my soul is soaring.

I feel peaceful and calm,
the day has been quite amazing,
a festive day to celebrate the beginning
of a sunny summertime.

On this summer solstice afternoon,
I look forward to the day being longer
than any other day this summer,
and also seizing each moment of joy.

Come stand near me by the sea,
frolic in the cleansing waves of salt water,
bask in the glorious sunshine,
and capture living in the moment!

That's nice; makes me miss NYC and Long Island (eastern) where i grew up and spent time in up until I was 30 something... Miss those short northern summers especially around the Solstice! Last once I had up North was in Vermont, 2003. Hiked around a wilderness lake until dark on the the first day of summer...best memory ever!
Enjoy summer...mike

Ah, this is the official day of summer, but we down here in the swamps have had a couple of months of it already. When I was young I enjoyed the summer more than now. Still, it is what it is.

As a Long Islander, with Jones Beach about 7 miles from my home, I spent many a day there with my wife and kids Spring, Summer and Fall. Winter was a bit too chilly but my wife and I went anyhow and loved it. Nothing like the smell of the ocean and the crashing of the waves to soothe the savage beast.
