autumn
walking along the charles yesterday I was struck by the essence of autumn. its about death, but yesterday as the saturated colors filled me up, I thought that just maybe, if one had an opportunity to reach the end relatively healthy, relatively lucid, that perhaps it would be like fall on a day like yesterday. brilliant, hyper-real, saturated. the grand finale.
we are going to truro today to empty and the clean the house. the closing is on the tenth and while the money will help defray the cost of grad school, there is nothing that can replace the land....what a special place that is.
the leaves have fallen off the tree outside my window, but the clematis on my neighbors fence goes on and on....if only I could do a scratch and sniff, it'd bring a smile to your face.
