Contemplation in blue
Perhaps the whisper was born before lips,
And the leaves in treelessness circled and flew,
And those, to whom we impart our experience as bliss,
Acquire their forms before we do.~ Osip Mandelstam

Freshly mowed
Some of the comments on my Summer Solstice post (271: Learning to love summer) on Tuesday were mixed and thought-provoking. I didn’t do a count to verify it but it looks like there is a pretty even split between those who love summer and those who don’t. Those who love summer gave some great reasons for doing so. Some of those reasons include:
- Better weather
- Longer days (more sunlight after the long, cold, dark days of winter)
- Flowers in bloom
- Sunrises and sunsets
- Vacation
Some of the descriptions from those who love it include:
- Carefree
- Fun
- Relaxed
- Lazy days
