– “So you say we’re in our autumn years. Speak for yourself. I’m in the summer of my life. And when I leave, it will still be summer. I love summer. Don’t you?” – “I like all seasons. The first cool drops of rain, the first snowflakes, the first chimney fires, the first buds. These first things that come back each year delight me.” – “But the summer sun… I love the burning sensation. I need that sensation inside my body. Like the embers I handle each day.” – “I understand.”
