Summer’s glory a thing of the past not destined to ere come again while clouds of grey, rain and hail, stand full on life’s centre stage. I shiver sometimes for it shouldn’t be that summer bows out to winter and brings back again the intolerable like karma not yet resolved. It’s an evil trick that makes me think heaven chastises the meek when really it’s just a change of the times and not a personal affront. The meek shall inherit – oh, blah di blah, blah! Summer’s not meek or reticent but simply withdraws from the fray to allow winter a second chance. So what if the season’s not right to be denied the light because what was and what is to be all mixed in a common pot and those who eat will soon enough know there’s more than one mouthful. Winter will stay until summer regains the force of its own convictions but it will give way again and again, because it knows to allow latitude – and summer is love, beautiful love, that knows to give second chances again and again and again!

I enjoyed your ponderings about second chances, always deep thoughts from your philosphical and creative mind, dear Helen. I think that we shall have always new chances as long as we breathe. Sometimes maybe we must grasp them with the power of a lion's paw and forget about meekness. Love and hugs. Margherita  |
