October 5th: A friend of mine recently remarked that she doesn't like fall since it is ultimately about decay. I prefer to see fall as a kind of extended bedtime. The deciduous trees will spend the winter asleep, so this is their period ofdrowsiness, when they get undressed before going to bed. But unlike us humans, the amazing dream visions happen before they fall asleep, and are now on view for all to enjoy. If we must lose the leaves for a while, what a beautiful way to do it....
