"summer weather invites vulnerability.

when you wake up and the sun is already shining before you are. spend your day working your job, so ready to get off to enjoy a beer at the park wth your friends.

the energy is simple: work a bit, play with intention.

the thick night air is begging for cool whispers to cut through the humidity. these whispers nudge toward the truth you are too busy, and too guarded, to share in the mixed bags you call your busy days. you begin unpeeling yourself, revealing layers of tender sweetness only you possess.

i find this hard in the winter time. everything is already cool enough, there’s really no need to whisper. but boy, when may makes its way around, my heart becomes as exposed as my skin. ready to connect, ready to share.

this issue of brindo invites the reader to consider their own idea of ripening with the seasons through a showcase of visual, poetic and sonic compliments by artists all over the world."
