Writing this on the last day of summer, a crisp coolness clings fast to the clear air. Fog lingers in the morning. Wispy woolen caps top the mountains and thick mists veil the valleys. From the river, spectres radiate upward, swirling above the water. The noon sun is bright and warm on the hills and hollows of grown, green-full leaves. Shocks of early fall pop out here and there. The last of the wildflowers rustle. The harvest moon will shine splendidly in the sky tonight. And on this day of transition, the editors of Junction wanted to take a quick look back.
Though it’s a prompt we have not heard much since our schooldays, we hope it will fill you in on what we got up to during the recent warm months. We realize Junction took a bit of a summer break, running out of the classroom as soon as the bell rang, and we weren’t the best at communicating that to our audiences.
We have been going through changes, and missing some great editors (Hi, Molly and Colleen!) because they are out there following passions and career pursuits and taking on new and exciting opportunities. And we have added editors (shout out to Courtney and Dawn!), who have been contributing their experiences and stories, and energy into making Junction happen! And though the world kept spinning, we had to take a moment to ourselves, and we hope you all understand. This is how two of our editors—Hazel-Dawn Dumpert and myself—spent their summers…
