That next Season...

It is easy to tell the next season will be upon us soon. Each night as I drive home from work I pass the high school. The football team has been out practicing in the evening sun for about the last week and a half. The boys lined up in their blue and white, scrimmaging on the field of green with the sun glinting down from the West, and gold spreading over the hills. Truly an eternal moment, every year repeating, flowing one year into the next. Ten years ago it was my son's team, and now he and his classmates are far away from the football field through time and space.
