An Ode to Summer

Before I start this post, I have to say that I can't take credit for any of this, except finding it. The simplicity and honesty are beautiful.
 

Summer, after all, is a time when wonderful things can happen to quiet people.

For those few months, you’re not required to be who everyone else thinks you are,
and that cut-grass smell in the air, and the chance to dive into the deep end of a pool,
give you a courage you don’t have the rest of the year.

You can be grateful and easy, with no eyes on you, and no past.

Summer just opens the door, and lets you out.
