Summer returns, and with it all the feelings and fantasies and fears we associate with the season. MarÃa Jesús Contreras
Summer romance June! Again! I know! Where has the time gone? Itâs boring to even raise the issue â your subjective experience of the months and years passing so quickly, how it seems just yesterday you were doing something (making plans to see Barbenheimer, maybe? That was last summer!) and now here we are, doing this again. If summer is a play, June is its opening act. If summer is a feeling, based on my recent conversations, itâs either hope or dread. For me, itâs all hope, all anticipation. Let the longer days spread out before us. Let us spread ourselves out in them, lie down in the grass or on the beach or in the air-conditioned splendor of the living room, early afternoon, for a climate-controlled snooze. Last weekend, in the country, I had a run-in with a bunch of winged creatures â wasps, I decided, based on the scientific description I found on an exterminatorâs website: âGenerally speaking, wasps are much scarier looking than bees.â No nest in sight, but a bunch of them, thronging the porch. Perhaps because I spend most of my time in the city, with its predictable insect population, I had almost forgotten about wasps, about yellowjackets and hornets and the menace Iâve always associated with their presence. Fear of wasps is rooted in childhood, deep and reflexive. Donât move, donât look them in the eye, donât even acknowledge their presence, or else. As a child, one wasp in the house was reason enough to flee until an adult could dispense with it. Now, ostensibly an adult myself, I observed myself observing the swarm, feeling that fear surge and then subside. Here were emissaries of the season, summerâs welcoming committee. I could sip a lemonade beside them and, if not exactly relax, then at least contemplate remediation. Where had the time gone? When did the fear of being stung become manageable? I looked at the wasps and thought, âYes, you too.â If I am going to throw open my arms to welcome the sunlight and barbecues and lake swims and the air thatâs the exact same temperature as my skin, then the wasps are invited as well. âI think the extra sunlight makes me manic,â my friend Leigh texted me this week in what sounded like despair. Leighâs one of my seasonal adversaries, the people who greet Juneâs arrival with dread. We engage in this back-and-forth every year, whenever the season changes, me twirling around in a sundress, her grimacing under a comically large-brimmed hat. Iâve heard her arguments against: the heat, the sweat, the perils of midday sun and the ordeal of sunscreen, the pressure to be always doing things. I want to tell Leigh about the wasps, about how expansive and openhearted I have become this year, but I donât want to gloat too much, and Iâm aware I may sound slightly deranged. âTHE DAY NEVER ENDS,â she texts, as if thatâs a bad thing. âThe day doesnât end, you just give up and go to bed when itâs still light out.â Maybe we both sound deranged. Itâs June again, whether youâre apt to rejoice or just surrender. Itâs June and âThe green will never / again be so green, so purely and lushly / new,â as the poet [Marge Piercy](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRoPXhHP0TYaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucG9ldHJ5Zm91bmRhdGlvbi5vcmcvcG9lbXMvNDI0NjYvbW9yZS10aGFuLWVub3VnaD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjQwNjAxJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEyNTEwNSZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTY4NDEyJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyNwb2VtVwNueXRCCmZVR_NaZgtdMaxSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~) put it. That alone, the brand-newness of the month and the season, the brand-newness of who you or I might be this time around, might not be enough to make you love this time of year, but perhaps itâs enough to make you curious, to consider how you might be different, to consider whom or what you might, this year, admit into your summer plans.

Citlaly Gutierrez of Texas. Bryan Terry/USA Today Network Womenâs College World Series: The Red River Rivalry is alive and well in N.C.A.A. softball. Texas and Oklahoma are top-seeded teams in this yearâs World Series, and for the first time in four years, itâs not Oklahoma in the No. 1 spot. That went to Texas, which led the country in batting average this year. Oklahoma, winner of the past three national championships, had the second-best team average. The teams met four times this season and split those games, with each winning twice. Six teams remain in the World Series; theyâll play a double-elimination tournament this weekend on ESPN networks. The championship series begins Wednesday.
