I like the hottest days of summer, probably because they remind me of Africa. That is pure nostalgia and romanticism because I never liked the heat back then. But today I have experienced the true fierceness of a New England winter and, coupled with my immense age, I know the pain of such a season. At the height of summer now I can stand at the window in the cool of the air conditioning, gaze at the parched and baking scene, and enjoy the fact that winter is held at bay for at least a few months more. Sometimes it's the absence of something that gives us pleasure. |
