The Stars are Mansions Built by Nature’s Hand
The stars are mansions built by Nature’s hand,
And, haply, there the spirits of the blest
Dwell, clothed in radiance, their immortal vest;
Huge Ocean shows, within his yellow strand,
A habitation marvellously planned,
For life to occupy in love and rest …
— William Wordsworth

I enjoy Pride Month because it’s great to support family and friends, because rainbows are pretty, and because if 2SLGBTQI+* peeps can’t be themselves, neither can anyone else, not really.
Here’s to embracing our true selves.
* True, the acronym is long and changes a lot and is easy to mess up, but that’s because inclusion is important. Don’t be afraid to be an ally.**)

Wait, today is the summer solstice already? Not quite sure how that happened but here we are, almost halfway through the year. That’s a little scary (time, it flies!) and a lot reassuring: the world keeps turning, no matter what.
So here we go again!
