AUGUST
When I emerge into August, a deep sense of contentment abounds. Sun soaked, salt water satiated, and infused with wildflower-scented air — a physical state of wellness washes over me and brings about an ease of being, a contentment that no longer feels effortful to grasp. This is August.
For many of us, throughout the year, we seek this kind of contentment by “working at it” with disciplines like exercise, meditation, goal setting, advancing our careers, etc. But the essence of August invites us to drop agendas and surrender to this fleeting summer vibe.
Nowhere to go, no pressure, no plans… the spontaneous unfolding of summer days, unforeseen encounters, adventures unexpected, human connections only possible within the context of this moment-to-moment way of life. This is August and this is enough.
Happy August everyone.
