The whole town is quiet... but everything else is quite loud. Do you ever watch someone who doesn't know that you watch them? An old lady on a street corner, or some kids getting on a bus to school? Well, they stand there and you look, and all of a sudden this -- flash comes over them, and you know it has nothing to do with anything external, because that hasn't changed. They just suddenly become real and more alive. If you look at someone long enough, you can discover their humanity. That's just a thought for today. I think it could help some people.
I also haven't been able to pick up any quality radiostations in the area. Maybe it's because there are none. I'm going to try fixing that myself.
I'm finally settled into my small appartment. My things are unpacked, maybe a little bit of organizing is still I will miss seeing autumn. It's like a second spring where every leaf is a flower. There is a harmony in autumn, a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen. Plus I find it is comforting when one has a cold day to lie in the warmth of one's bed and there, abandoning all effort and all resistance, to bury my head under the cover, giving myself up to it completely then, whilst outside there is the moaning branches in the autumn wind.
I should turn that into a song.
