Timing the Leaves as the Fall
Our eyes cast toward the sky. Trees blocked the deep blue sky and semi dark clouds lingering before the sun. Just as the breeze swept across our faces the leaves shook and fell from their homes. Raining a golden red symphony of colors. They dance down toward use shading us form the sun and revealing the intense momentum of time that has swpet across the year. Fall. The leaves, the winter comes after and another year has pressed forward withg out our conciouss reculection. A deep breath of autumn air crisps our lungs and we fall back into world that is on the brink of change. Will we be left here? or will we change with it ?
Whats been going on ?
Well nothing much. Or at leaset nothing that I think is interesting. I did jet around the world last year and go to Japan to hike the 88 Temples of Shikoku. You can read that over at https://daydreaminglantern.com/. You know when I think of vlogging or even writing about my own life I take a look and say, well I am not doing anything that interesting. So what would I share? In the sense if I keep thinking like that then nothing will ever be that interesting.
Those Things that Go Bump in the Night
We had all heard of the stories. One night someone you know is there chilling in their home and then the next you are searching for them in the forest with flashlights all through the night because you are worried that if the sun comes up they will be lost forever. The sun comes up the day of, you check into their house, their neighbors, the school and then their family. No where to be found. Everyone says one excuse and another.
“Oh he might be just skipping town for while, you know him”
“Maybe he got a new girl, always hanging around”
It always seems to take the ones that are most volatile. It knows that people will have a story built in their minds about what had happened. Where they went, who they went with and even why. But you, you know that they didn’t just get up and walk away with some pretty girl. That they didn’t hit the road to get out of town and skate their life away. You know what is really happening. And the truth is, so does everyone else. That deep down, they know what is going on , but the thought of admitting that it is real, admitting that it could happen, brings it one step closer to their door step. It makes them double check their locks at night and even cover their windows so no light escapes. Brighter bulbs to ward off the the shadows that creep slowly to their building panels. They know, they all know.
