The day's end came gently today, with filtered gold sunlight, a light and fragrant breeze. Summer imbues a sense of well-being, and of extending our world to the out-of-doors. One can almost imagine no Fall or Winter, just warmth and ease and being one with the earth and all its bounty. Flowers have invaded barren spaces, the birds have doubled their singing. As the words to the song go, "Summertime, and "the livin' is easy".
The darkness is not so dark in summer, and all living things seem to rise toward the sun, day and night. My last glance at the outside world tonight was of this lovely backyard scene, a place filled with memories of sharing coffee and conversation, meals with friends and family, and a place to call my own.
