Along a village street in fall weather dreams
we float together by the light of a harvest moon
Halos in the fog show us the way
down a path we hope no one else knows
beneath a forest ready to sleep
The narrow way into something familiar
like the air is drawing it out of us
Leaf swirled lanes where windows are sleeping
seem to whisper a story to us
something almost strange, like a dream
At the end of this path we will come to it
a stream at the foot of the mountain like a vein
a forgotten place far beyond even us
and we’ll lay on our backs and imagine
what might be there, just above the treetops

Gonna have to give myself a haircut soon.

Beautiful and magical – I’d love to see an animated image to go alongside. Guess I’ll just have to imagine my own 🙂

Thank you! Would love to see that as well. I have 0 animation knowledge/skill, however…

This is my fave line, though you know I always love each word of every post: “Halos in the fog show us the way”. Interesting that you mention cutting your hair…I did my own a few days ago, nothing fancy, just whacked off some length that was driving me nuts 🙂

Thank you! (: I suppose a lot of people have had to do it under the circumstances. It turned out pretty much alright! May save on future cuts and just do it myself from now on.

It’s amazing what we can do if there’s no other option 🙂 I’m trying to get up courage to finish my About page–and post my real photo…with new cut 😉

True! The key to resilience, I suppose. And nice, now’s as good a time as any! (:

I do think it’s a more providential time now, than it might have been. At least we have Internet resource–imagine the “olden days”, pioneers didn’t stand a chance when plagues came calling… Very best regards to you, Mitchel 🙂
