Summer is ending. The shifting season is palpable. In June we hankered for the carefree limitless realm of lazy mornings and meandering evenings. Days filled with options and no real objectives other than breathe and follow your own muse. I am rushing to sit in the sun, kick off my/… Read full post »

Parting is all we know of heaven and all we need to know of hell.
~Emily Dickinson
