About a week ago, I opened up my sliding glass door to pay attention to my plants and I felt something;  something familiar that had been elusive for a long time.  What was it? To my delight, I realized that it was a cool breeze.  Yes, having come through the second hottest summer on record in Tucson, the breeze opened up my world.

Oh, how that filled me so.  It was a gentle surprise that whispered hope and impacted the promise of change.

“Oh World, I cannot hold Thee close enough!”

Edna St. Vincent Millay’s words resonated through me.

And all I could say was Thank You.
