SUMMERTIME AGAIN

SUMMERTIME AGAIN

Summertime is here again and as ever it brings around many things: Scorching heat, dirty dust, multi-colored falling leaves and a lot of summer ailments from sore eyes to diarrhea and dehydration. Water supply is markedly diminished, grass disappears and the soil cracks everywhere.

Summer heat quickens flower withering as it also drives away many beautiful birds. Children get sick and adults feel irritated as even the appetite for food is almost gone and sleeping turns burdensome.

On the other end of the pole the seashore becomes too alive and too crowded. Everybody wishes to go to the beach. Colorful hammocks are hanged under trees while some kinds of new beetles and crickets suddenly appear to sing their unusual and uncommon lullabies.

Cacti bloom; blackberry fruits develop and grow big faster. Carpentry sounds are heard all around because this is the time to repair, expand or build new houses.

Summer carries with it both the good and the bad of life depending on how it affects ones attitude and existence. Summer actually is just a simple illustration of the global if not the universal cycle.

Summer is the Dry Season in our country. After this shall be back the Rainy Season with its storms and floods and typhoons plus the many calamities following its trail.

Let us enjoy this period now when there is less calamities although this is the most hazardous season for fires which could be prevented if we are only cautious and careful.

Rainy or Dry season, it is still the same. Night and day continues, good and evil prevails, life and death comes. Nothing seems to change as time goes-by. Oh yes, politicians and government officials are getting worse as well as some priests and some pastors.
