My beloved friend
You and I had a sweet talk,
Long ago, one autumn night.
Renewing itself,
The year has rumbled along,
That night still in memory.
( Daigu Ryökan – Japanese poet )

To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,-
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do
If bees are few.
(Emily Dickinson)

We renew our complicity with life and death, for in summer it’s easier to say yes to what is.
Happiness is that which happens,
and everything moves and breathes in a golden light.
In the long twilight of a summer night, we are prone to believe
that our wildest dreams can and will become manifest.
It is time to go to bed, .... but ….that summer moon!
