Saying Goodbye to September

On the verge of October and Autumn, there has been a unbelievably beautiful stretch of clear, warm, and in every sense perfect weather here in Wakayama. This past month some really great things have happened to me, or rather, I did some great things. There were also some incredibly painful absences which grew greater as the distance between myself and the present seemed to grow. I think it was Hermann Hesse's Emil Sinclair who had the same kinds of struggles with accord within the self.

Well, goodye to September. What a strange thing to say, but a fitting end no matter what is thought of it by you or me.
