The sun has
already exhausted itself, having long since taking its shortest nap of the
year. Unlike with winter's careless narcolepsy, the sky will not get a break.
And though we do not see it, for weeks now, less and less light has been
flooding our overstimulated world.
There are some who
say summer peaks early in a quick burst of June lightning and then the thrill
is gone by the time fireworks dissipate. Kids are barely out of school and the
back to school sales have started.
Why do we do this?
We do not see the full day of light while it shelters our heads. We just see
the sun setting earlier until you turn on the lamps shockingly early in the
December afternoon. Summer goes by while we just speed glumly ahead to the next
thing.
