"THICKET", 2004, 30" x 30", oil on panel
Â
Everything about the Autumn in Santa Fe is perfect to me.
It’s not QUITE here but last night, Â all night long I felt it sneaking in.
I was up most of the night for some reason.
The moon is waning but still has that strangely magnetic pull to it.
It had me last night.. Â wanted me to go out there.
Honestly, Â I feel almost sinful that I didn’t do that.
I was just too, Â too perfectly content there in bed and feeling the slight chill after such a stretch of the heavy heat we’ve been having.
All through the night I watched the shivering aspen leaves out my window reflecting the moon.
I felt the quiet and tended my nest.
I just let each moment slide effortlessly into the next.
There was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in me that wanted ANYTHING to be DIFFERENT.
Today, Â I’m tired but feel soft. Â Expectant. Â Because change is coming. Â Autumn is pulling into the driveway and parking her car.
All this to say that my BODY LOVES THIS SEASON!!!!!!!!
I walk better. Â Feel better. Â Eat better. Â Have energy. Â Get inspired more. Â Feel friendlier. Â More on top of my game.
I really need the seasons.
Helps me remember that change is the only thing we can actually count on.

I always told my kids”change is the only thing we can count on” ! And I am remembering this all of the time. Thank you for saying all of this, you continually bring me back to center. I love you for this!
Last night was a major meteor shower….perhaps you were feeling the pull of that too??
Miss you,
