“Solstice Sunrise”
Nighttime skies fade to pink
Cricket song on the breeze
Night dew clings to blade and branch
Before the mists of morning flee.
Rising higher, blazing forth
Eastern sky burning bright
The Sun ascends, his glory shines
Upturned faces trace his flight.
Celebrate in the Solstice Sunrise
Bask in life-giving light
With open arms greet the dawning
This longest day & briefest night.
~K. Bailey

That is a good tip especially to those new to the blogosphere.
Brief but very accurate information Appreciate your sharing this one.
A must read post!
Kerry and Chloe, Thanks so much for your kind words and for stopping by.
That World card seems to say you can shine your new light by embracing others – as you have done here by sharing with us all
Lovely post, Koneta, thank you!
Interesting juxtaposition between the Page of Cups and the King of Swords!
Emotional creativity coupled with communicative clarity – definitely see that in your poem
Hi Koneta: Truly an elegant post with poem and spread shining so brightly. I received the Five of Earth,reversed Gaian as outcome. Much hmmmming here as I realize that looking after practical matters simply without worry and sharing the process helps my light shine. Thank you.

Marilyn,
I love your insight into that “difficult” card. Thanks for sharing!
Lovely poem and a great spread! As others have said, how wonderful to draw The World in the final position! You’re moving beyond the garden usually depicted in the Sun card and on to wider horizons
And with confidence too!
Sharon, thank you for the words of encouragement. “Moving beyond the garden” I never thought it that way. Love it!
That’s a great spread idea and I am going to try that later today as there are a few things buzzing around that I need to explore more!
And the poem is lovely too – well done, Koneta. Talented lady!

Ali thank you. I hope your Sunrise Spread reveals marvelous things for you.
I love the simplicity of this. The layout is lovely. Thanks so much for sharing it.
Arwen,
Thank you
This post is elegant in its simplicity! And how wonderful to have The World as your outcome. May it be so.
Caroline,
Thank you! I was thrilled when I turned up The World.
That is my favorite deck! What a great outcome you received! And strangely, no fire. Wanna hear my outcome card? The irony…. I pulled the Sun! Funny!
Donnaleigh,
Can it get any more perfect than the Sun card?
Thank You for this great Summer Solstice Sunrise Spread, Koneta! Love the shape as the rising sun. I pulled 2 cards for position 2: a #2a Challenge card and a #2b a “light or shadow?” card. Card 4 became the Outcome by Shine-n-Share card. Diggin’ my cards!
Thanks, and a SaWEET and Sunny Solstice to Ya!
Jordan,
That’s a great variation! Glad you liked it.
