A Summer Solstice Reflection for Midyear Vision
“You may not see Mount Doom ahead yet, but you’ve already crossed Rivendell.”
The Summer Solstice is a quiet turning point.
A stillness in between where vision sharpens.
In The Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo stands before Galadriel’s Mirror.
He sees possible futures. Enough glimpses to carry forward without fear. With purpose.
As Galadriel reminds us: “Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.”
The Solstice works the same way. A single day of longest light.
A single breath at the midpoint can offer perspective more powerful than a finish line.
It’s about what we choose to notice and what we choose to carry.
The decision to pause.
The willingness to look ahead without needing every answer.
The ability to trust that clarity often begins in stillness.
Today may feel ordinary. But even the smallest solstice can change the course of the year.
