August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time.

inOne summer morning at sunrise a long time ago I met a little girl with a book under her arm. I asked her why she was out so early and she answered that there were too many books and far too little time. And there she was absolutely right.

inThe first week of August hangs on at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning. The weeks that come before are only a climb from balmy spring, and those that follow a drop to the chill of autumn, but the first week of August is motionless, and hot. It’s curiously silent too, with blank white and glaring noons, and sunsets smeared with too much color.

[B]efore them were the sands, with rocks and little pools of salt water, and seaweed, and the smell of the sea and long miles of bluish-green waves breaking for ever and ever on the beach. And oh, the cry of the seagulls! Have you ever heard it? Can you remember?

inAll in all it was a never to be forgotten summer—one of those summers which come seldom into any life, but leave a rich heritage of beautiful memories in their going—one of those summers, which in a fortunate combination of delightful weather, delightful friends and delightful doing come as near to perfection as anything can come in this world.

Solstice
How again today our patron star
whose ancient vista is the long viewturns its wide brightness now and here:
Below, we loll outdoors, sing & make fire.We build no henge
but after our swim, lingerby the pond. Dapples flicker
pine trunks by the water.Buzz & hum & wing & song combine.
Light builds a monument to its passing.Frogs content themselves in bullish chirps,
hoopskirt blossomson thimbleberries fall, peeper toads
hop, lazy—Apex. The throaty world sings ripen.
Our grove slips past the sun’s long kiss.We dress.
We head home in other starlight.Our earthly time is sweetening from this.

You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view…Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.
