We have just passed the midsummer mark, or the summer solstice. Due to the mystery of the sun appearing to stand still since Neolithic times (10,000 years before Christ), the imaginations of cultures throughout the centuries stirred, creating many traditions. St John’s Day, celebrated by many Christians on the 24th of June, is also thought to deliberately coincide with the midsummer mark.

We have enjoyed absolutely glorious weather in this neck of the woods, and so with flowers in full bloom and the beauty of the natural world, it has indeed been fitting for this time. The days, alas, will shorten now by two minutes every evening, but the symbolism of this midsummer time prompts us to think of joy and abundance during the fullness of this season in this hemisphere.

Joy and Laughter were abundant last night in Chawton. Lesley Knight was in the house, and how we love having her visit us. Lesley gave us laughter, shared beautiful thoughts that we all needed to hear, and then brought some lovely messages for us. Thank you so much, Lesley!! Alison Keogh chaired our evening

It was also Mr Shackleton’s birthday, and so we enjoyed cake and a bit of singing to ring in another year for him. Happy Birthday Les!! It is your birthday week!!

Thank you to The Family who brought lovely readings and prayers. Thank you, Julie, for running our music. Thank you, Carole, for the cake. Thank you hospitality, and a special thanks to our healers. And of course, light work is made of set up and break down because all of those who do it diligently every week.

Prayer of the week

· One of the lovely things about awakening from sleep, especially near summertime, is the soothing coo coo of the Wood Pigeon. He is maligned as a greedy guts at our bird table, but he is scientifically no different than the dove symbolizing The Spirit and the Dove of Peace, universally known around the world.

Pigeons are intelligent, contrary to belief. His slowness to flutter off from approaching cats is not a lack of brains. In 1995, Japanese scientists even trained Wild Rock Dove Pigeons to distinguish pictures of Monet and Picasso with an accuracy of ninety percent. He has also been used during wartime to carry messages back and forth, bringing valuable information.

In Britain we have the Wood pigeons, the Collared Dove, the Stock Dove, The Wild Rock Dove, (who accounts for the huge feral populations in cities,) and The Turtle Dove, They are all closely related and they mate for life also, which is especially heart breaking when one loses a partner.

Many people keep Homing Pigeons as a hobby. The hippocampus is very developed in all pigeons for navigation, but in these Homing Pigeons, especially so.

Well, we found our own way as homing pigeons to church last night in Chawton. We gathered on Father’s Day, knowing Sarah Dorgan, one of our own, would be in the house. Our effervescent gal brought sweet, inspired thoughts and beautiful messages. Well done, Sarah!! The evening was chaired by the lovely Chris Elliot, and they made such a team!!. Thank you both. So much laughter and fun, and we even managed to sing without music, after a hiccup had us improvising..

The Family brought readings and prayers to lift the energy of the room, and the energy continued with the healing afterward. Thank you, healers. Carole whipped up a beautiful cake and Sue ran our hospitality. Thank you for the set-up and break-down, everyone!

Prayer of the week

Please pray for our world. So much has happened this past week. Our world feels like it’s falling apart sometimes, but we know that The Centre point of it all, our Father holds it. Please send loving kindness and prayers to all the Inhabitants and situations of peril.

Calendar up tomorrow.

Have a beautiful week!!

Stop, however busy, and absorb some of the beauty of the outside.
