The Almanac

humidity penetrates the air like a

winter chill that seeps through the

cracks in our mental foundations,

thick air surrounds our bodies...

unseen and unheard but felt each

time we take in the air...  sitting or

standing, the movement is ever

so subtle and suffocating...  we are

careful where we walk and where

we place our feet so as not to trip

over the weeds that thrive in these

conditions...  moisture pours out of

our bodies as if we have just stepped

out of the shower and are reaching

for a towel...  our nostrils sense a

pending rain, perhaps a storm with

thunder, rain, and hail...  or perhaps

just a gentle summer sprinkling of

rain to release steam from the soil,

but there is something coming and

it is not winter, just more of the same

and we are not yet out of spring or into

summer as indicated in the Almanac.
