SoOoO... I have thus survived college and am crossing from one season to the next. Summer is my most favorite season of all... i love the magic of it! I was born in the summer and i thrive in it. I guess the fact that summer is really here hadn't hit me hard until the other night. I just was walking through the yard a dusk... (dusk is prettiest in the summer). The grass in the fields around my house was really tall prolly about half way up to the fence. The top of the sky was black and the horizon was an orange/grey color... only a handful of stars were in the sky. But the best part was the fireflies... they were everywhere! For some reason i hadnt remembered seeing a firefly since i was a kid. So i chased them for awhile... it was a blast. They just hovered around the tall grass surrounding my yard like a light show.. but softer and much more majestic. The scene with the sounds of bugs, birds, and laughs drifting from inside the house... made it all seem very surreal. My skin was warm. I sat down on the front step and reminisced about being a kid and catching fireflies in the summer. I thought about popsicles, technicolor swimwear, and swollen mosquito bites (too bad those didn't go out of style with the swim suits). But i just listened and watched as summer entered my life one more time. It came with the sunset, and the fireflies... it came this week one warm evening. Summer is lovely.
"Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him."
Daniel 2:20-22
