Halfway through summer
These sweet days of summer are so fleeting. I love the light in the evening this time of year, the way that rain comes suddenly, then is gone, the unexpected things that happen and then depart in a whisp.
It's not even my favorite season-- that's autumn-- but still the summer needs to be savored.
Because I have been on the academic calendar almost my entire life, I have this sense that summer is the end of the year, right before things start up anew. I love the rhythm of that, the way that one follows the other.
But, damn, I'm glad I don't live in Texas! That heat is brutal.
