In about 20 days, autumn will officially begin. Summer will officially be over. I'm already missing summer, and it's not quite gone yet.
Can I keep the bliss of Summer's sweetness? Will I rediscover my love for Autumn's preparation and release?
Until then, I'm holding on to summer (ironically as I'm holding on to a few other things in my life I'm unwilling to let go of). I'm not ready to part with the whispers of warm, sandy beaches (which, ironically I didn't get to this summer), the sweetness of fresh berries and tomatoes, and most of all, that crisp, clear, cooling, clarity of floating about in a summer pool.
And then, perhaps when Autumn does arrive, I'll be able to release those things I've been clinging to, as the trees release their leaves each year. Which, after all, grow back.
