I am enjoying this month for all of its gifts. Part of living my beautiful life is staying open to what each day--each moment--brings. I have loved all harvests of abundance that have come my way. Tomatoes, squash, corn, greens, fruit, berries, not too mention the late-blooming flowers. This month feels like a transition time, too, as summer gives way to autumn. I have seen and heard geese on the move. Their V's have started to appear in the sky overhead, and their sounds speak of a change of scene. The evening temperatures have dropped to cooling, comfortable levels. Abundant harvests and seasonal touchstones. Beautiful living.
"August
The opposing
of peach and sugar,
and the sun inside the afternoon
like the stone in the fruit.
The ear of corn keeps
its laughter intact, yellow and firm.
August
The little boys eat
brown bread and delicious moon."
--Federico Garcia Lorca
