Summer View

Summer. Here we are in the midst of it, and I'm just trying to keep it all in my heart, my mind and enjoy each moment. I have the privilege of having a lovely view from my window and when I go to sleep, I can taste the sweet air on my face, see the luscious green leaves from our dominant tree, and the shining coin of the moon's beams displayed in my bedroom. The night owl in me only wants to experience summer outside. I've enjoyed for a long time long walks and runs during the twilight time of day, especially during these summer solstice days. Almost nothing is more calming, relaxing or inspiring than going for a stroll or a jog during my favorite time of the day. The sun's excitement and energy has quickly faded and died down, only one last production of bowing down below the hill's horizon.

I'm also blessed to wake up to the child like sun doing everything it can in order for me to open my eyes, stretch and ready to start a new day. Some days I'm more inclined than others to jump out of bed. Some days, I just like to process things more and take in the freshness from my window, the freshness and sacredness of this special season. As July closes, and all the memories are folded neatly and delicately like laundry into drawers, as they do inside my mind, I am thankful for another summer month come and in hindsight quickly gone. Lets keep enjoying, embracing and loving this brisk yet beautiful time of year!
