The river is high. The trails are puddled. Unusual for September. My day is framed by morning workshop and afternoon workshop and taxes in between. A bike ride to the store and back in the lovely warm sun. After my Play Lab I drove to Newton to go to a book release for my friend, Martin Lowenthal, who has just published another book: Avatars of Wisdom Love and Service. It’s a sweet time to be with friends on a weeknight. I’m glad to go in person. Frank home, a short trip. My grandson complains of feeling cold in the mornings. I light the fireplace for him for the first time in months. By mid-day, I have all the doors open to the lovely late summer warmth. Leaving Marty and Karen’s house tonight to go to my car I smell Halloween coming, the damp cool evening. I must check on my pumpkin patch tomorrow.
