Autumn is here and I haven’t seen a single chestnut dropping at my feet yet. Instead, the younger but still prematurely aged trees - due to the leaf-mining moth - blossom for a second time. They clearly command the resources of youth. Anyway. The weekend looks set to be sunny, though not too warm.

The first sorrow of autumn is the slow good-bye of the garden that stands so long in the evening—a brown poppy head, the stalk of a lily, and still cannot go. Ted Hughes

Radio on and the presenter is complaining about her son who is content with just one pair of shoes. 🥱 Turning to the newspaper and my gaze falls on a headline saying that the rooks ravaged the graves in the old cemetery. Now that’s interesting!

Waiting lies heavy on my lids. It lies like sleep, Like a big sea. Far off, far off, I feel the first wave tug Its cargo of agony toward me, inescapable, tidal.

A dark blue evening sky with a single, delicate cloud whose shape resembles a flying superhero with a cape. Or a closed eyelid, a dreamer in the sky. A sleeping elephant passes by. A whole herd of them looming on the horizon.

Tried to enjoy today like the last of the summer. The Japanese Nagori, literally the imprint of the waves, means the wistfulness after this final treat at the end of the season. A taste of impending farewell. 'But you’re getting ever younger,' the doctor shouts out to me. Ha! The Curious Case of I.

Because you can tell the cat’s illness by his ruffled coat – no amount of brushing helps – everyone just calls him old tousle-head by now. But lovingly.

Crinkled morning – bed, face, cloud cover. Reminiscent of the 70s crinkled patent leather and how I loved my Barbie the most when she looked like a Jezebel.

DRIFTING 


Out of my head, out of my broken body,
I drift. Not like the drifter
Who walks on solid earth
Unlike the space-shuttle man
With his umbilical cord
Linked to an iron heart.
Me, I am the wind who travels through trees,
Through hair, through cloth.
I touch you and leave you.

Sunday morning. The scent of yesterday’s jasmine rice and chanterelles still lingers in the kitchen. Outside, cloudy with intermittent warm drizzles. Gentle as the hem of a ghost’s gown silently scurrying over the floor.

1/3 A Voice from the Dream of the Dreamer A voice from the dream of the dreamer beside me said: I am the dark in the forest. I am also the muddy road, the noise in the underbrush and the tree in which you hide. Catch me, I am the rider whose horse rears on the horizon. -Karin Lessing

Alt-methods to watch the solar eclipse without special goggles or a solar filter film: Use a pinhole camera, a kitchen sieve or your own hands & project small images of the sun onto the ground. Watch the shadows cast by treetops. The points of light on the ground become many small solar eclipses.
