The Goat Moon Rises
This feeling is tricky - the pressure to rise against the wisdom to descend. It's currently the time for wrapping things up and closing things out, and yet the New Goat Moon is growing and the late Summer days are still hot. Don't be fooled, friends - dawn is distinct from dusk - we need to be finishing.
As for the poetry of the moment, wrap it up folks. Use whatever juice you have in the tank to clock out and start your commute home. There are those friends that might be egging you on for a night out on the town, but the wise ones would rather have a slow night settled in the nest for rest. Don't be like the dumb ones - FOMO is a horrible excuse to squander your sauce.
To make this make sense, be disciplined. It may feel like the Summer sun is still going strong, but the peak has passed, and we would be wise to use this light to find our way back to base. You still need energy to wind down - don't think you can steal life from tomorrow and get away with it.
✧ It's the End of Summer ✧
Slow Down: The big rush is over
Finish Up: Let your actions speak for you
Close Out: We don't win unless everyone wins
Get Home: Bring the team home to safety
Enjoy Yourself: Don't forget to smile
Go Home
