Autumn

Living near Schiphol Airport, you can tell when summer is leaving. It departs with some measure of style, as the normally small vapor trails of jet engines widen considerably, then vanish.

I love autumn. Nature disappears, but slowly, like the sounds in a composition of Toru Takemitsu. The essence of music, as John Williams once said, is in its dying away. In finality there is beauty.

I told my cat about this, and he purred.

When we moved to Holland in September 1973 for a five year assignment, we lived in a motel for 3 months. I walked ankle-deep in multi-hued leaves all around the motel for weeks. The air smelled.... different, somehow. Wonderful time of year, I agree!

Remember me?


Epibratie
"I believe in life. I believe in treasuring it as a mystery that will never be fully understood, as a sanctity that should never be destroyed, as an invitation to experience now what can only be remembered tomorrow. (...)
I believe in liberty. I believe that within every soul lies the capacity to reach for its own good, that within every physical body there endures an unalienable right to be free from coercion. (...)
I believe in the pursuit of happiness. Not its attainment, nor its final definition, but its pursuit. I believe in the journey, not the arrival; in conversation, not monologues; in multiple questions rather than any single answer."
Andrew Sullivan
