SUMMER – GRASSES, STRONGER THAN EROS

SUMMER IS WHEN GREEN MAKES YOUR EYES ACHE AND THE SCENT OF GREEN IS ALL AROUND. IT IS TIME OF THE GRASS CULT. NORWEGIAN ROLF JAKOBSEN CONSIDERS GRASS TO BE A NATURE’S GIFT. IT IS INVINCIBLE AS HOPE. IT IS STRONGER THAN EROS, LONGINGS FOR SENSUALITY, BEAUTY, AND KINDNESS. INHABITANTS OF LIVK GREET SUMMER WITH BONFIRES AND BID FAREWELL BY MOWING THE FRAGRANT HAY.
THOSE WHO WHISH MAY JOIN THEM. SUMMER IS ACTION TIME. RAFTING ON SOČA, KAYAKING, FISHING. CANYONS ARE INVITING US TO EXPLORE THEM, PARACHUTISTS PERVADE THE AIR, MOUNTAINEERS THE MOUNTAINS, WHILE CYCLISTS AND HIKERS TAKE UP THE PATHS. THE WARM NADIŽA AWAITS THE EPICUREANS, OFFERS THEM RIVERING, PADDLING, CLIMBING OVER BOULDERS, SWIMMING IN GREEN POOLS. SUMMER IS LIVELY IN THE MOUNTAINS. GRASSES ARE THE SOFTEST THERE; SHEPHERDS AND DAIRYMEN GREET US THERE, UNDER THE COPPERY CHEESE CAULDRONS, FIRE BURNS AND THE COW’S BELS RESOUND. THIS IS HOME OF THE ANCIENT CHEES. THERE, THE GREEN SMELLS PARTICULARLY STRONG.
