The Peace of Summer Noons

Summer has always been special to me. As a child, it meant vacations; no school, no homework, just weeks of fun and freedom. Those were the days of cold drinks, lazy afternoons, and waiting for the sun to go down so we could run outside and play. Back then, summer was all about adventure, a time when life felt carefree and exciting.

     Now, as an adult, I see summer differently. While most people stay indoors to escape the heat, I enjoy the rare peace it brings. The streets are quieter, the usual rush slows down, and the world feels calmer. There's something peaceful about the stillness of a summer afternoon, a kind of silence that no other season offers.

    While many complain about the heat, I find comfort in these slow, quiet moments. The empty streets, the soft hum of a fan, and the golden sunlight filtering through the windows-it all feels like a pause in time. Summer isn’t just about high temperatures; it’s about the rare stillness that lets you breathe, think, and simply enjoy the quiet.
