Summer Soul

At 12:45 a.m. (CDT) Summer arrived. It is the longest daylight day of the year.

Where is it in my soul?

Here is a quote from Bengali poet and Nobel Prize winner, Tagore posted on Inward/Outward a few weeks ago. Ponder the season of your soul and don't miss each day.

When the lotus opened I didn’t notice and went away empty-handed.

Only now and again do I suddenly sit up from my dreams
To smell a strange fragrance.
It comes on the south wind,
A vague hint that makes me ache with longing,
Like the eager breath of summer waiting to be completed.
I didn’t know what was so near, or that it was mine.
This perfect sweetness blossoming in the depths of my heart.
