Some thoughts

"The autumn leaves are falling like rain.
Although my neighbors are all barbarians,
And you, you are a thousand miles away,
There are always two cups at my table."
~Tang Dynasty

When I was living in Poland, jesperanda sent me that quote after I'd been sick for a week and the downstairs neighbors were playing "Gangsta's Paradise" over and over again. Continuously. For a week!

I love it, because it makes me think of two things that matter to me a great deal. One is the beauty of fall. The other is the importance of friendship.

For all my friends scattered far and wide, no matter if you're a few blocks down or half a world away, there are always two cups at my table.
