When Autumn Falls

 
Take no one or anything for granted.
 Love deeply.
 Be gracious. Be Thankful! Grateful for your life!


"Wind warns November's done with. The blown leaves make bat-shapes, web-winged and furious.

~Sylvia Plath
The Collected Poems

Autumn is slipping away now. The trees are beginning to stir grief in me. Loss has been great this year, and the nearly barren trees remind me of Hendrix's death. He was an autumn cat, he was born at the end of September in 2008. Along with Dylan, they were our autumn cats. Hendrix was black, and Dylan was orange. Perfect. They helped in healing from Elvis's death, just a few weeks earlier. I miss Hendrix with a deep sadness that I try to not manifest because I can't live in the pain anymore! Instead, I think of how happy he made, and how loved he made me feel. I am okay, and lucky enough to still own Joey, and now, Simon and Tyler! During this season of thanksgiving, I know, I am truly blessed, but I will miss those leaves, very much. To everything, there is a season.

Autumn Leaf Of The Day #41

Not to be morbid or anything, but things seem dull and kinda dead. My favorite month of the year is gone, and we are now at the midpoint of my favorite season. I am going leaf peeping soon, and that always lifts my spirits, so I am sure I will be okay. There is plenty left of autumn to celebrate. It's just sad to say goodbye, when I know that the rest of the year may bring unimaginable HELL. Oh my, just ignore me, I am Trump weary. We will navigate it all just fine. We kinda have to, right?

Autumn Leaf Of The Day #29/McUnhinged

 

“There was a filmy veil of soft dull mist obscuring, but not hiding, all objects, giving them a lilac hue, for the sun had not yet fully set; a robin was singing ... The leaves were more gorgeous than ever; the first touch of frost would lay them all low to the ground. Already one or two kept constantly floating down, amber and golden in the low slanting sun-rays.”
 
~Elizabeth Gaskell
 
Twitter is a Hellscape. Trump is simultaneously full of shit, and terrifying. I am tired, sad and scared for my future. I feel like shit, and I am tired of his unchecked threats! The link below is to the stupidest move a presidential candidate has ever engaged in. I feel like I am losing my mind! Can this all actually be real? The fucking McDonald's was closed. It was pretend! What 78 year old man does that? He could again be in charge of the nuclear codes, in three months or so. Why is this race so close? Fuck you, Donald Trump!

Autumn Leaf Of The Day #60

 
“Autumn is an honest month; it does not delude man like spring does! It shows him the dark face of life, the tragedy, the rot, the separation, the sadness!”
