october and its spooky jack o lanterns


damp chill slight spice smell Oh what a delight. October has a certain negative feeling for me-- I feel old and even sad .... its the transition month for me.. I reflect and ponder the youth. I miss my loved ones and long for simpler times. the truth is. that the cycle of life is punctuated in time and especially when we have seasons that assist in the solidification of memories and time.

the wind rustles the leaves and even though they are beautiful oxblood red, they form around the base of the spiral staircase in the back. I see the naked branches they have been swept away from and hope that a few can stay . It is October. the techni-color dance of leaves begins.

where is my apple or pumpkin pie. what about the warm apple cider and carmel apples, Horse carriage rides and gourds lining the house fronts.

Somewhere else I guess.

stay warm stay dry drink lots of water and dont dwell to hard. its only 6 months of shite....

Ok, so the rivers of Earth Were formed from large collections of rain from many many clouds after the great fireball earth cooled, millions of years ago, and it took man a mere 5000 years to putrefy them.. nice work man........ ok Yep my new job is great. I live doing something productive. the slow pace of settled India is to slow, I went on a walk with some elder women in my home upstairs, they take one step then the next and so on and I usually wait for the 12th step before I take my first one..

I am glad I am a visitor.. any whoo.. blessing and peace. Auntie

wake up and smell the coffee

Cold winds a blowin, sing songs a howlin. The weather is raw the weather is king. Shorter days knocking at the door. remembrances of yesteryear, the good old days, realizing they are permanently gone and that it will never be the same state again. Its a hard world to swallow sometimes, and especially as the time progresses and with that the expectations of adaption and evolution are ever present.. But it's easier to reflect than pro actively predict.! I am faced with the harsh reality that the place in the world that I am from , the magical all possible place that I come from is vanishing, slipping away and turning into a place of sour milk and no longer that rich golden land of milk and honey...... no dwelling but really dwelling. that is the state I sit in. the longing and desperation of knowing exactly how things would turn out. its gone its gone so gone gone gone... not hopeless just placeless spaceless danceless joyless empty outta wack adaptive acceptance

4th week of goodness and English lessons

As the last few days of September are approaching, the winter chill is permeating the air again. I like Autumn I like Fall but the rain and chill proves I am not as cop-able as I was when I was a child. The bitter chill cramps my legs and causes tingles in my toes. Stay warm stay dry and drink plenty of soup, avoid catching cold and don't forget to wash your hands often. These are simple things I can recall from the youth that lingered by. best of wishes as the seasons change and we reveal the autumn of our lives. love M
