final thoughts on autumn as i watch the first Flakes FALL






THE LEAVES ARE CHASING EACH OTHER

LIKE CHICKENS AFTER FEED.


oh but I do love this wild and wooly October time, even though entry into it does rearrange my hair when i venture out into its' embrace and whole conversations can fly away, suddenly becoming the words that are spoken between others someplace else. imagine their surprise!

Where are their manners?



Just LOOK at them! Throwing, hurling, catapulting, jostling, flinging, themselves at each other! In Late October all manner of manners are gone with the wind!!!

Just a Few More....




More Ways of Seeing



So there I was just walking, the cool moist morning mist making cotton candy of my hair, just walking and taking it all in, trying to expand my thought on a particular subject, trying to move out of the small corral my thoughts had been running in into the larger more generous arena of contemplation, when I saw it: not just "a sign" but THE sign, right up above my curly head: the street name was LITTLE WAY and the sticker on the sign pole said "DEAD END"....absolutely! My "Little" thinking on the subject I was kicking around was a DEAD END!; my attempts at more expansive thinking were right on! But wait.....another street sign, a mere twelve paces ahead.....what's that? OH MY! THE ULTIMATE MESSAGE, THE ULTIMATE "SIGN"!!!!......
SUPREME WAY....My expanded thinking was taking me toward the SUPREME WAY of thinking!!! Ah the SIGNS are everywhere; you just have to take the time to LOOK.
