Today, in the Northern Hemisphere, the light is at its longest and summer officially begins. It always seems a bit strange to mark the start of summer’s bright season on the day that we begin the long, slow descent toward the dark, but summer’s richness is all the sweeter for knowing that it can’t last.
What do you treasure because of, not in spite of, its impermanence?
Life.
Music! I prefer playing music vs. creating visual art in part because the mistakes disappear – though of course the correctly played parts also disappear.
