A couple of days ago I texted a message to a friend about the lovely summer we are having and he remarked "what summer, it has gone by and I haven't even noticed it. That season is over".
I was startled, because I realized how my own need for summer and light has transformed into acceptance of what we receive here in the Netherlands in this period of time. I have accepted that I cannot change it .. so when it rains and it is grey outside like today .. I think, oh well .. at least I don't have to wear my sweater today .. the blouse is warm enough.
When I go outside to walk the dog I pick a moment when it is dry .. thinking .. see, it is not raining right now and there is so much light behind those clouds and in the evening it is very often that I see the most beautiful sunset with the setting sun making the most gorgeous golden edges against the clouds.
Am I a Saint? Definitely not, it is just that I have put the word "acceptance" high on my list of priorities, to understand it and feel it and live it. And for me, listening to music helps to lift my mood, that's for sure. The song I picked today is Summertime, from Gershwin's musical Porgy and Bess, again, one of my favorites
