true to oneself.








yesterday
when i awoke from sleep 
[and a vivid dream] 
my very driven mission
was to quickly leave the house
for a bicycle ride.

where are you off to in such a hurry?
[nalgene bottle and camera in hand.] 
pencilfox:
i have to get out of the house.
i have to go. 

the sights and sounds of autumn
were all around me.
it was soothing medicine
for my wild heart.
it was balm for my soul. 

i need this sometimes. 
sometimes:
i need to be by myself.
in the middle of nowhere.
sometimes: 
i need to just be. 
be in the moment. 

indeed.

And today here too:
cooler weather
ripe concord grapes
plums nearly ready to pick
a pumpkin turning orange
