August.    The hard month.   But….this year,  not in the ordinary hard way.    Maybe i didn't expect things to Stand to Reason???

because there  seems to be less reason to Stand To?    and/or   coming to some place where i just no longer have the same parameters?     Whatever…there is Release.   Today there was Wind….not breeze, but Wind winding up that road up this Hill,  flowing up from Jack's edge down there    the wind chime singing    the release from the Heat.   September.   Open.   We move toward  Rain months.   These days are 

precious

a word i am conflicted about.  precious.   But they are.  precious days.   gentle days.   Let them be so.

    the checked borders on special days … the going-ness of the days without annotations … the hope-fullness of a new month ahead

    September, the start of my favorite season. When I turn my calendar page to September, I release a contented sigh I decorate the special days and so on the 13th, two red hearts because my daughter celebrates her 18th anniversary and on the 21st, a dove pasted on the day for International Peace Day, Oh there is a birthday also this month, mine so I put a little green star; turning 74 this year.
    Get my calendars from our library, every year a different theme and photos taken by members of Meadowlark Senior Center.This year’s theme is Desert Florals. September’s photo is wild and terrific; a rock garden with blooming cactus, the blooms in shades or red and orange.
    In a moment of joy, the photographers name is John O’Donohoe, almost identical to my dearly loved Irish ex-priest, poet and philosopher, John O’Donohue. Here is where the synchronicity comes in: the photographer John, specializes in landscapes and the poet John, has a wonderful quote that so resonates with me and I’ve quoted it on many of my blog comments: “When you bring your body out into the landscape, you bring your body home where it belongs. When you step outside, it matters if you see landscape as a location or if you see it as walking into a living place.”
    September is filled with the “living place” as the air crisps, as Gaia changes her color wheel, bedecking the trees, flowers, bushes, plants, weeds, with a glory of color to dazzle our eyes before beginning the quiet time…

    August is a very bittersweet month for me because I become aware of the shortening of days. September often comes as respite (sometimes into October) with blue skies and sunshine (and the reminder that it’s technically still summer until the 21st). And after the hot days this summer the coolness is so nice, though apparently we have more hot days on the horizon. And though I know I’ll tire and struggle through the rainy season, I do hope it is a good and rainy rain season and not as dry as the last couple were.
