Fall Arrives

I was sitting outside on our patio furniture watching squirrels harvesting for winter. I’ve been having internet problems all week and haven’t been able to waste time online, so nature got my full attention for a while. It’s been overcast and rainy all week. The leaves are falling. Things are getting chilly. And that little squirrel was focused on the work at hand.

I spent a lot of time like that this week. Outside, in the world, remembering what it’s like to be a part of it. I listened to the sounds of my world, the ones that don’t include YouTube videos or the whirring of cooling fans. I guess it would have been a good time to break open a book and get in some reading. Or maybe practice something from one of my classes. But I didn’t. I just sat back and watched the world and everything in it. Well, at least that which is in my world. It was calming and really helped me focus on what’s important.

But I’m back now. Back to the grind and the research and the learning and the laughing at silly YouTube videos. The internet man came and fixed my issue and all is back to normal in my world. No doubt my world won’t notice my absence as it didn’t notice my sudden participation. The little squirrel will continue to prepare for winter and the leaves will continue to fall and the season premieres will start airing and… Here I’ll be.

It’s nice to have some time off.
