Random Musings on Autumn Equinox (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tuesday, 22 SeptemberAutumn Equinox – 10:57 p.m.66 degrees, Waxing Gibbous Moon Durham, North Carolina Random musings from the kind of hotel room nobody writes songs about, though the sound of the long train moving down the line and the streetlight down below my window almost get there. I am wrapped in one of my comfort blankets because I am freezing, but that’s only because I had to set the thermostat to 67 to try to accommodate my own broken settings—no busted radiator here to memorialize in s

Saturday 19 September 6:45 a.m.65 degrees, First Quarter MoonFirst waking of the day, on time to take first meds which include time on the front porch properly greeting the day.

Saturday morning 11:07 am74 degrees Tail end of a Full MoonGood morning from the front porch at Bear Path Cottage. I’ve been sitting here letting myself mellow in the presence and sounds of nature. The crickets, birds, and all the other bits of wildness talking to me have a spicy-sweet soothing hint of autumn in their voices. This is a beautiful day. There’s also a good breeze blowing, strong enough to cool things off without tearing anything up. The limbs of the loblolly pine and other nearby t
