The Smells of Summer

Smells have a way of associating with things in our minds.

Most people will smell something and think of their home, or a person, or both, from the past.

But the smell of summer brings me to a state of mind that is filled with happiness and peace on Earth.

I connect the smell of summer with only good memories.

When I smell chlorine, I think of those long days by the pool, filled with sun and Ham and Cheese sandwiches.

When I smell the grass I think of tending to my garden, feeling the dirt under my nails.

Sweat, bodies dancing, inhibitions lost, freedom.

I also somehow smell the future.

I can smell the ocean that I have never seen with my own eyes.

I can see all of the places I will go.
