It’s hot.

It’s a time of confusion, fear, grief, anger.

It’s a season that asks us to slow down.  Sit in the shade.  Drink something cool.  Take it easy.

It’s an opportunity for us to reach out to one another.  Listen to each other.  Care for each other.

Let’s do it.  Let’s enjoy the days, the sunshine, the travels, the waves or mountains or meadows.

But let’s also reach out to one another.

Because it’s hot.

Because we’re weary.

Because we need some time away from it all.

Peace be with you.

“There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled.
There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled.
You feel it, don’t you?”
