Going back to the topic of the month of October, by the way, where did the month go? Where is Autumn going? Is it dashing headlong toward Summer? I can't seem to get a foothold on the season, and I'm not the only one who's noticed the trend. I haven't had a moment since the Autumnal Equinox to sit back, sip pumpkin latte, light some candles and incense, and enjoy the ambience of Autumn and approaching Samhain-Halloween. Even our neighborhood is almost devoid of lights and decorations.
I believe this sense of being unable to stop and smell the roses, as it were, is just a reflection of this time we're in, it's the Zeitgeist of our nation, and perhaps of the entire globe. As I post the timewave graphs every three days or so, I feel the buzzing, chaotic ebb and flow of fields of all kinds of influences. Sometimes those waves of multifarious signals cancel each other out, and communication suffers. There's also a gnarly flu going around, which doesn't help the sense of things going all too fast for leisure and enjoyment. Heck, nowadays when I sit on the sofa for an hour and vegetate watching an episode of Chopped, it feels like a holiday! At least I'm learning how to enjoy "micro-vacations." Autumn is our favorite season, and it's going all too fast like a souped up video in fast motion. What a time. Let's all hang in there! I write this as a shout out to my friends here. Wishing you all warmth and coziness ...Philosophy Magazine
I've been following the month-long writing-blogathon of my friends and fellow admin / writers of Planet Buddha here, and have been impressed by their having stuck to their guns in posting at least one post daily starting October 1. Inspired by their energy, I tried doing the same on my own, but I've found that writing a post (at least one post, sometimes more) a day is not easy! So my hats off to our fellow travelers!
