Just a little ditty to set off a hopefully fruitful post. Tomorrow I leave for home with my parents. I'll be in Taiwan for about a month, and then off to boarding school. Summer, by the standards of time, is grinding to a halt. School is hovering as well as work and obligations abounding. However, the weather seems convinced otherwise. We have had about four days of 80+ degree weather. Fortunately, for most of said hot days we were at the lake, with easy access to cool waters. Unfortunately, most Alaska dwellings are not equipped with air conditioning units. In short, I am melting. Why do we get only 2-3 months of summer vacation? Why have we set society up so that it is like that? Why can't we just abandon all ties and obsession and delve into spiritual and physical well-being. Let's revert to our hunting and gathering ways altogether!
But that is extreme, like our current lives. Maybe, just maybe, humans will find a happy middle ground, discrepancies and all.
Peace and love,
