Exiting a busy free-way, I drove through a nearby beach town on a quick errand.
The cloudless sky and high temperatures made the summer sun particularly hot. As I opened the windows, and took a deep breath, I experienced an almost imperceptible stillness in the air –summer was ending.
I’ve spent a great deal of time during this lingering pandemic, staying positive and informed, cleaning out the old, and spending soul searching time re-evaluating and committing to what is truly important in my life.
I’m feeling energized by my recent discoveries and decisions. Yet, as I drove, I felt this quiet yearning – a desire to step outside my routine.
Since then, I’m continuing to embrace the silence, and explore new things, like: an outdoor rooftop cinema movie, a different dance class, meeting a new friend in person, and the fun of a local ping pong game.
What feelings do you experience when you take in the bright and varied shades of yellows and muted lavenders in this piece? For me the sensual figure emits energy that feels actively alive, cool, calm and inspiringly confident.
With fall just around the corner, I don’t want to miss one more moment of this season’s beauty.
How will you celebrate the end of summer?
