SUMMER 2015

Many a time, catching a few moments of introspection, whether at the beach or the park, I find myself looking up at the clear blue sky that occasionally was streaked by the grace of a winged creature, gliding effortlessly. In those moments, were truly captured, the essence of this Season and the inspiration for this issue.

Caught between summer and autumn, this issue lauds our abilities to fit so much into the as yet long days; gliding from one activity to the other, yet able to be present in each. The pursuit of happiness that comes upon us suddenly and with passion. Whether it be the roulette of parties and pleasure seeking activities or the grounding of solitude seekers, we all find our way to commit with vigor to what makes us the best, brightest stars in our lives. Each of us seeking the most and at most in everything we do. Yet, we find the time to recommune, through barbeques, family dinners and holidays!
