A hazy summer day, somewhere in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
Sultry, steaming, sweltering … Slow down. Or stop. It’s time to shed ambition and expectation, along with commutes, clothing, cellular phones, calendars. Now our wants seem to diminish. Is it because our needs are met? A shady nook, a cold drink, a cool breeze — whether indoors or out. A respite from the rigors of the day. Time off for good behavior. Summer is not so much a season as a melody, that tune of contentment we hum as the days begin to beautifully blur.
