As summer starts crackin its firey whip, it’s important not to let the heat cook our insides. I happen to love that exhausted feeling of being out in the sun too long but of course a cool dip in a pool or the ocean takes that dry heat to a whole new fresh feel once you are cooling off. I am an Aries and true to name often get fired up, ahead of myself and impatient with things. I often don’t see it coming and since my fuse can be rather tethered and short I get wind of it as I am blowing my flames. I often forget that my body, me, the stuff I am made of needs water and more than 1/2 my body weight (various %’s are quoted) is made up of this incredible stuff or that most of our planet is water full. Both inside our skin and everywhere outside it, there is always something a little cooler under foot that we can access to chill us out. Just now I was doing a little research for a client I will see this afternoon and ran across this wonderful quote that invites a bigger, cooler view of the ground we walk on each day.
From Jane Smiley, author of A Thousand Acres:
When I was very young, I imagined it ready at any time to rise and cover the earth again….the sea is still beneath the feet, and we walk on it.
