Season by Season

At this time of year, the topic of conversation is the heat! Either it is talking about how the heat is unbearable, or how the heat has been unbearable.

Even in our electric age of light and neon, the glow and crackle of a fire maintain their magic. Fire has, since childhood, been something out of the ordinary; something a little sacred, something a little profound. Firelight reminds you of the darkness we humans used to live in and, indeed, how we were once more comfortable with the shadows. Fires of long ago.

It has truly been two weeks of growth and transformation. There’s no stopping nature now as we dive joyfully into summer.

We welcome the expansive season. A time of clarity: the light glows, sparkles, laughs. The scenery gurgles and chirps, green tendrils pushing toward the sun. Everywhere, delicate transparency captures the crystalline glow, cradling it softer than a torch.
