Cool Windy Cloudy Misty Summer Mornings

There is something about the feeling of a cloudy, cool morning that piques the imagination, especially during the summer months.

I don’t know if it’s the wind blowing a little harder, stirring the trees and windchimes that provide a musical background, or the songs of the birds early on, or the gentle cling of humidity to your skin, letting you know rain is not far away.

But there is something about a turn in the weather that stimulates sleeping parts of your spirit.

Maybe it’s the fact that it’s a different form of summer atmosphere. We are used to hot, sunny, surfing-and-picnicking kinds  of hot days this time of year. We are treated to heat exhaustion, sunburn, sinuses, and sweat, all welcome and all encompassing.

When a morning or evening pops up that is different than that, we often take notice. Maybe its the barometric pressure changing, the temperature drop, or the breeze that cools off our sticky skin that causes us to sit up and take notice.

Maybe it’s the transience of it all.

Short and sweet, relieving, constricted views because of the overcast sky, all make us turn our heads from the daily blinding grind of life for just a moment.

We know it won’t last; many will be happy of that fact.

How very close to our everyday outlook about the ups and downs of life.

Those won’t last long, either.
