The summer seems to have passed with a whirlwind. The beginning of the school year brings schedules and routine that for some are difficult to embrace. For others of us, the dust settles a bit and our days become more steady.
Do whirlwinds have centers like hurricanes?
I thought of this as I was reflecting on the past couple of months. Some days feel like I am so close to reaching the center that any moment things will be calm and still. And other times I view things with a peaceful certainty that all is right with the world.
Maybe, you say, I am just an optimist, thinking that the next day may bring the quiet relaxing days of nostalgic summers. Hmmm... perhaps since I occasionally walk around and speak of the dust fairy, "I do believe, I do believe"; but things remain dusty
