Savoring Summer = Ritual, Presence & Gratitude Have you ever noticed how quickly summer passes? Here in Central Oregon, we spend months anticipating these long, sunlit days. We dream about hiking trails, river adventures, backyard gatherings, concerts in the park, and evenings spent outdoors. Then suddenly summer arrives, our calendars fill, and before we know it, the season is gone. This year, I'd like to offer a different invitation. What if summer wasn't about doing more?
