A celebration of the Summer solstices is being held over the whole wide world. There is a entire web site devoted to this celebration which asks everyone to turn off their electricity and use candlelight for two hours on the evenings of June 18th thru the 21st, 8:00 to 10:00 p.m.

They suggest doing something special for these two hours such as reading by candlelight, enjoying a quiet dinner with someone you love,listening to music under the stars. Think of the energy saved or just think of creating peace. This celebration is intended to instill a world wide coming togetherness by sharing a collective experience by candlelight.

The name of the event is called "CandleNight Summer Soltice 2006" They want us to take it slow and make a "wave of darkness" spread over the world together. Share by having a "Candle Night" party or just spend the time quietly with your family. You can write a letter by candlelight or my all time favorite thing to do nightly, take a bath by candlelight!

"Turn off the Lights, take it slow" is the motto which reminds us to just be and not to always look to another moment or action to make us happy. To simply enjoy our lives in this moment to truly know existence. To be aware of our surroundings, the sights, sounds, movements, and sensations we are present in.

"CandleNight" celebration is also a time for us to think about conserving energy and non-polluting our earth with toxins. Burning candles, especially natural wax candles
is a good way to express ourselves with the notion that we really do want and will create a cleaner more healthy world to live in.
