Do we transform or merely erode?

alasanonI just woke up from a nap and I feel muzzy and slightly out of it. I've been trying to think of things to say... I had things in mind earlier in the year, but the summer has sapped all the words out. Maybe I can force something if I think about the things I think when my mind is empty.

I was walking home from the bus this afternoon and the sunset was beautiful and I had a moment of wordless appreciation for it. We're at the curve of the year, sweeping past summer and into autumn. It smells like the word September feels in the mouth, round and full but ready to fall. The weather is shifting into that phase where it's cool enough in the morning for a sweater, but too hot by midday, then cool enough again at night. There was a rainstorm this weekend that flushed much of the stickiness from the sidewalks. Blackberries are starting to splatter on the roadsides, matching the sour apples that only the birds and squirrels are interested in eating.

This used to feel easier, but I'm out of practice.

The weather sure was beautiful, though. I had lunch in the sun.
