Lee Bey: The Urban Observer

(photos by Lee Bey) 

The cool curtain of autumn threatens to bring summer to a close--and with it, a time for reflection: Small regrets for the warm summer nights that ended too soon; the bright Saturdays spent idle; the sunkissed weekday afternoons that are lost like loose change at the end of the day. ...

 

 

Truth is, summer, like life itiself, is a gift--a wonderful inheritance given to imperfect people. We drink it so eagerly. And droplets of time fall from our lips.

 

 

 

 

Enjoy what is left of the season. Sip the last of the summer wine and savor it. Visit a friend; catch up with a relative. Play hooky and spend the afternoon at a cafe with someone. Do it before we must say goodbye to our visitor with the warm embrace who never quite stays long enough. At least we are left with memories---oh so pleasant memories--and the promise, next year, of more.
