Embracing Summer

These last weeks of summer invite us to embrace every balmy afternoon and savor every warm breeze.

“Oh, summer has clothed the earth
In a cloak from the loom of the sun!”

—Paul Laurence Dunbar, 1872-1906

Just in case you weren’t keeping track, as of today less than a month separates us from the first day of autumn in 2018. I can’t help but feel as if there’s something especially soothing about these last few weeks of summer. Even as they furtively steal from us minutes of daylight and ticks off the thermometer, they nonetheless invite us to embrace every balmy afternoon and savor every warm breeze. We would do well to accept that invitation, even if there’s a faint restlessness brewing in our soul for those enchanting days of autumn that loom in the not-so-distant future.

“Ah, September! You are the doorway to the season that awakens my soul…
I must confess that I love you only because you
are a prelude to my beloved October.”

—Peggy Toney Horton
