I could not resist opening my front door this morning just to check on things. I had a sense that something was different. My fleeting dreams and impressions of today’s wee, small hours had the flavor of a gentle rain. As I became awake, little bits of sunlight danced on the floor, but it was an unexplained, feeling of quiet I had, that made me want to go and see.
Looking to the East, the early sunshine filled everything up with gold and little raindrops hanging on everything added to this scene, jewels that shimmered in a pleasant breeze. Something is different, if the usual sweltering June climate in Missouri could be compared to a desert, then the next three or four days will be like an oasis. Take a deep breath, exhale, let that brief feeling of relaxation sink in deep. Enjoy this short span of moderating conditions. So true to Missouri, don’t get used to it, this too will change. If you take it for granted, it’s gone. Steamy summer will be back soon enough.
Enjoy it while it’s here, fill your eyes with blue sky and green grass, watch the sunshine play on the trees, hear the birds sing, feel the warm sun and then the cool breeze. “He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul…” Enjoy this Oasis of Days.
