summertime, some time

WHat is there about the hesitation of a season that allows reflection? Here among the cacophony of Georgia songbirds I am enjoying the change from the academic world to the simple existence of human being. Philosophers recommend awareness--live in the present moment. What a gift! To shut off the incessant demands of struggling in the "frizzle-frazzle" and take stock of one moment. As I sit enjoying this moment on Only Son's and #1Daughter-in-law'sporch, I momentarily forget the nagging emails and obligations of life. sweet summertime, some time! Moz poses as a mophead on the screened in porch. Button tries to usurp the real possessors of this mansion, Koda and Maya. for this rebellious act, she is relegated to the fenced in yard. This confinement strikes her as unjust. What a lovely enclosure of green! A silent thank you for whatever fates allow this moment to absorb and replenish.
