When it\u2019s time to write the introduction to summer\u2026 the hardest part isn\u2019t thinking of what to write, but how to restrain myself and not write too much.
\nThe air is warming, the sun is grinning and teasing \u201cfrom the vault of the sky,\u201d and here\u2014do we really have to read V.\u2019s insanely long tests?
\nNonsense!<\/p>\n
Look around. Close your eyes. Inhale.
\nAnd feel. With every inch of your skin, that the most awaited time has finally arrived.
\nAnd again, feel how sweet thoughts become about:<\/p>\n
Strawberry necklaces.
\nGarlands of porcini mushrooms dried in the sun.
\nFishing, where the point isn\u2019t to catch anything, but just to hang out together.
\nWaves kicking against you.
\nSwims until blue lips and shouting, \u201cmaaannn daaarrrr ne\u0161\u0161\u0161aaallltaaaa.\u201d
\nSandcastles.
\nIce cream running through your hands.
\nSandy \u201cmustaches.\u201d
\nStrawberries from grandma\u2019s garden in soup.
\nBare, sun-kissed legs.
\nA boat swayed by a young, unpracticed rower.
\nA sky full of stars.
\nCrackling campfires.
\nLong evenings on terraces.
\nWatermelons bigger than your head, with juice running down from giant bites.
\nHammock swings.
\nNoses peeling from sun kisses.
\nInflatable flamingos.
\nSwimsuits drying on your skin.
\nWet hair tied into buns.
\nWondering why it\u2019s still light outside so late.
\nGetting lost between evening and night hours.<\/p>\n
And then the wildly simple, everyday things
\nthat make summer so extraordinary and unforgettable.<\/p>\n
All that\u2019s left is not to close your eyes
\nand remember \u201chow it feels.\u201d
\nIt\u2019s almost here.<\/p>\n
For me today, a true, sincere summer has \u201carrived,\u201d
\nand I have no doubt it has for you too.<\/p>\n
