It's in the Air

As summer waves its fond farewell, as we are teased by this cool, overcast, fresh day, the promise of autumn dances in the air.  It beckons with it's lure of crisp-scented breezes and snuggly sweaters.  Of holidays and warm socks.  The disappearance of mosquitoes is a delight to anticipate with relish.  No more sweltering, searing heat, the bright sun obnoxious in its vanity.  The autumn sun is gentler and humbler, ready to share the freshened sky with a few clouds now and then.  The prospect of adventure is not a false front, dirtied with beer cans and morons.  Fall adventure is real, the adventure of living!  Of breathing in the new air and feeling invigorated by the unmistakable fragrance of the leaves and distant fires.  No lies are harbored here!  Autumn delivers what it promises, and does not taunt or insult those who do not fall in love with it.  It merely kisses them on the rosy cheeks as they walk by, smiling with the assurance that it blesses them nonetheless. 

Tomorrow may feel like summer again.  The relentless sun may return with it's gaudy brightness, the unforgiving heat like a giant oven to melt and sicken those who dwell within. 

But today is wonderful.

Wherever they send me, I am not there.

The forest whispers through my veins, like the quiet breeze that brushes the oaks and pines and makes the grasses and wildflowers sway.  It lights up the lonely corners of my heart, like the millions of stars that glow valiantly above the trees.  It hides in the shadows like the lush ferns that thrive beside the streams.  Its song flows through me, unheard by the concrete and the sculpted world around me.  The melted mess of modern society surrounds me, but i am only half here.  I am deep within my forest.

A Kiss from the Wind

When life seems suffocating, keep breathing.  When it all feels hopeless, keep dreaming.  When your strength is gone, keep going.  You are strong.  You are beautiful.  You are magic.  Not magical; you are magic itself.  Go!  Live!  Be amazing.

Feel the moonlight in your heart and keep a smile on your face.  You have powers others cannot see. --Brego
