i have been dreaming of making time for the James bio. Should I?
i have been using oliver’s text in my work for almost as long as i have been reading you. and autumn’s capacity to stir every emotion at its deepest has to be one of the definitive markers of our species. (yes i know i just caused a syntactical hemmorage.) (yes i know i can’t spell)

Last Saturday just before sundown I was handing out cookies to the homeless under the chilly walls of the Armory at Bedford and Atlantic in Brooklyn — and I happened to look up and there, beyond the walls and the wires, far off in the sky, there was a long line of geese flying from one edge of the sky to the other.

Ah, the lovely New England mountains. When I was much younger, and going to school in western Massachusetts, I used to love looking to the horizon and seeing the mountains. There’s something about looking at mountains and realizing that they’ll always be there, for millions of years.

I love that you put Mary Oliver as the title of this post. I was up in the Adirondacks this weekend, and I had that poem running through my bones as I crunched through the leaves. Yun.

Both Phranc and the foliage are disarmingly picturesque.
