I don’t like to wear sunglasses because I feel like I’m telling the world it has to change to be let in. I want to see the world in its rawest most natural state. I have bad allergies that could cause me hostility towards plants, animals and the outdoors but instead I savor the moments I can and I respect and cherish the gifts I’ve been given. One of the activities I love to do most is explore hiking trails and wilderness areas. I look forward to many trips when I can get out and immerse myself in the natural world free of pollution, negativity and corporate America. I want to help the world speak. I want to help people see how human the world’s plants and animals are. We are no different, we should not be fighting, we should be cooperating and listening.
Fall has arrived in many regions of the U.S. In Arizona I can only tell because the temperature has finally dropped, triggering my allergies. Palm trees, cacti, and the desert doesn’t noticeably change colors in the Fall, but that doesn’t mean things aren’t changing. Inside myself I can feel the change. Every year Fall arrives and I know it’s here. Spring is marketed as the “New Beginning” but I think I feel that sensation more in the Fall. I look for new inspiration, I reach out to long lost friends, I determine to take another class or start another project. Fall to me is when I become renewed. First I fight with myself about how little things have changed and then I start changing little things and then I look back and realize I have come a long way this year. Promotions, moves, vacations, friends moving up or away, friends starting or stopping relationships, many books, many blogs, many projects finished.
