Today, in the morning, the colours seemed brighter than they usually are. The green was deeper and more profound. The black was darker and more inviting. The white was brighter and more calming.
There was something in the air which said it was going to be a great day. No, not a feeling. It was just there. Right there.
And then it happened.
A lone leaf fell to the ground. Floating, floating, floating, till it was suddenly pulled down. And bang. It hit the ground without a sound. But created ripples among the other leaves, making space for itself. Disappearing into the sea of leaves on the pathway.
Then it was clear. Before the rain started trickling down.
Invisible at first, you could only feel it on your skin. You could feel the leaves sighing together in union. Fluttering, dancing and celebrating its arrival. Waiting for it to sweep them off their feet and float them into another world. Another time.
She was back.

A dream within a dream
About Me
- . : A : .
- There is a magic in the air that permeates through the very soul of my existence. There is a stillness in the night that floods my senses beyond my imagination. There is a madness inside of me that overflows in everything that I create. There is a past behind me that is overcrowded with memories that drain me out.

Wonderful, peaceful metaphor for all of the souls that inhabit this earth, and that one soul that holds you spellbound.
I’ve missed you.
This felt like a perfect homecoming here in Massachusetts. The contrast of words and sounds was palpable.
Sigh. Love your work. Always have, always will.

Every time I read your prose, I can see things so clearly. You have an ability to write with a lens for us all to see. I'm sure you would be a great director.
