enough
August 9, 2013 § 2 Comments
August is bittersweet with beginnings and endings. We turn the calendar ahead, celebrating our daughter’s birthday and begrudgingly note the dwindling days of summer vacation. The simple squares that map the month seem inadequate, an error in measurement.
Each day we hide from the dawn holding our dreams close and greedily gather the lingering length of sun stretched across our evenings into waking hours; defiantly we dismiss routine. School supplies slumber on lists tucked out of sight and our flip-flops mark the threshold of our home like totems of summer guarding against autumn.
I am not yet ready for the end. Instead I am slipping off my watch, marking off the minutes of summer with togetherness; scavenging adventures from moments of restlessness.
This moment, for now, enough.
