late summer reverie

Late summer is here, and I feel myself clinging to it emotionally. I just love these hot days and cooler nights, when the cicada hum rises and falls all day and night. There's a stillness in it that speaks to my heart.
It's been a busy summer and though I've spent plenty of time in the hammock, I don't feel like I've had that lazy summer day experience at all. Which got me to thinking about my favorite moments of the summer despite the whirlwind of activity. Here's the beginnings of my list. I invite you to make one too.
1. Discovering the hum of crickets in New York City while walking down the street with my niece and her friend after an evening in Times Square.
2. Taking a skinny dip in the lake at Omega after a quiet peaceful sauna.
3. Getting a massage in back of the Art Hut.
4. Making jewelry with Helmi at the house.
5. Taking a life drawing class and a silk screen class.
6. Savoring a Jacques Torres ice cream sandwich.
Ooohh. I'm just noticing how sense-oriented all of these things are. What are your top summer moments?
May your days be filled with gratitude for the Magic Medicine of every day moments.
