“Breathe the sweetness that hovers in August.”
~ Denise Levertov
The last few weeks before school starts carry a sweetness all their own.
There is excitement building, but also a quiet sense that summer is beginning to slip away. The calendars start filling. The school supplies appear in every store. Families begin shifting bedtimes, making plans, and preparing for new routines.
But before we rush into the backpacks, schedules, meetings, and first-day expectations, August reminds us to pause.
There are still slow mornings to enjoy.
Still evenings without homework.
Still time for one more swim, one more trip, one more dinner outside, and one more day without watching the clock.
The start of school will come soon enough. For now, breathe in the sweetness of these final summer days and let them be enough.
