heat of August, breath of September

There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul. -Ella Wheeler Wilcox

As the four o'clock afternoon sun beats down on my world, through my car windshield, and into my face, I can't help but squint my eyes, as to avoid it's blinding fate. It's was One hundred and five degrees on the streets of this small Southern Oklahoma town today. Even though we'd all like to run away and hide from Summer's toil, we can't. We have job's to do. Meetings to make. And lives to live.

Fall will be here soon. And even the sun will reach for her sweater. We'll breath deep as the leaves begin to fall, and we'll look for a hand to hold close through the Winter months. Our parties 'celebrating our youth' will end. And our responsibilities will thicken. Just as the tree's change, so will we. We'll begin to search for love again.

Just as September takes our hand, and leads us temptuously into Winter's cold heart we'll look up at the blistery night sky.....and thank God we're alive. In just a flash we'll be trembling, and hiding from the cold. Just like we are now, from Summer's hot control.

May life lead you through her seasons with loving hand.

Kyle
