The best things in life
The dinner cooking nicely on the stove, I stepped outside this evening and walked over to the ivy arch where we have trained a large honeysuckle. The smell only comes in the evening when the sun's near to going down and the damp rises from the ground. It's such a sweet and heavy perfume it is almost overpowering, and complemented by several blackbirds singing their evening territorial boasts, made more creative by having young in nests again. Overhead, high up in the darkening sky, swifts soared picking up the first of the evening's supper insects; soon they will become enervated by their juicy diet and will take up aerial acrobatics, diving at the ground like kamikazis then swooping off at the last minute, using the momentum to carry them across the roofs and gardens without wing effort, feeding as they go like athletes taking sips of energy drinks. It was a heady mix of sights, sounds and smells, yet, available to anyone; step outside the box with its wall-to-wall, mind-numbingly banal dross of entertainment where most families are at this time of the day, and the birds are singing and the flowers smelling. The evening air cools the lungs and mind. |
