Relaxing by the lake, sitting around a fire with high spirits and low attention spans from the heat & day's fullness.  Nothing seems to repeat in a mundane, winter-like routine, ever-changing we wait for the night breeze to cool our sweaty, tired brows.

Once in awhile, I have a chance to become vertical for more than a few minutes and sink into suspended animation after a busy day.  To hike, hit the hammock, go for a   swim & to the mountains.  We are in awe of the soaring fireflies; and overcome with pride and obedience to the contentment of the moment within which one can seek and find closer connections... to the essentials.

Hope everybody out there is enjoying the season,
