Indian Summers

Summer, of all seasons, is the one which brings us human beings into our most elemental  state - frank, often ugly, always true.

 

We indulge and never regret; we forgive and we mean it.

 

We know that what happens to us, is what we do onto others. And in that strange steaming symbiosis lies the powerlessness of our appetites - we are what the air makes us -  not good or bad - just stripped of everything, naked, true -  and for once not ashamed, and for once refusing to be shamed.

 

Summer is a body's sigh of being, as it realizes how everything is so fleeting.
