At Dark's Dawn

I feel the change in the light in my body. I'm a bit sad, but there's nothing immediate to feel sad about.   

I notice that the trees have begun their seasonal wardrobe change. Russets and yellows. Rich reds and oranges. Faded greens. 

Suddenly, it's fall.

We're just at the edge of a Nor'easter, and it's been grey and sometimes rainy. The air feels heavy. There'll be another day of this before it moves off and allows the sun to shine over shorter days.

There's a bit of melancholy in the air. I notice he thought without judgment and let it go.

Fall-ing In Love: 40 Days of Noticing is a daily writing practice that opens a landscape of discovery into my own human experience.
