This coming Sunday is one of my favorite holidays, well….., I suppose it’s not really a holiday, but very well could be. This Sunday begins Daylight Savings Time! The time of year when I can drive home from school, eat dinner, and it’s still light outside! Living in a climate that actually allows for outdoor evening activities in early March, DST inaugurates a time of year when I can go for a bike ride, head out to the beach, or even curl up with a nice book in the park for a cool, crisp spring evening. And just like the communion elements at church existing as a forward (yep, forward) reference, DST points to the utter reality of the summer, which though months away, is now made just a little bit more present through this extra hour of daylight!
