Late September

Heron standing in pond; trees in background

It’s just after the Equinox, and I’m still able to sit outside and write. This will become less and less likely as autumn progresses. We can pretend it’s still summer (especially when the afternoon temperatures reach the mid eighties), but sometime before Halloween there will be a Great Rain which will knock all of the leaves from their stems, and plunge the valley into average temperatures in the fifties.

Probably the deluge will coincide with (and obscure) a notable astronomical event, like the two comets that are supposed to be visible in the sky at the same time as October’s new moon.

And there will be mud.


Dreams:

Image from the other night:

A blocky, clear cologne bottle with a cubic stopper. Etched onto the front of the bottle, like frost on ice, in bold san serif font, are the words “STONE MASS”

Of course, now I'm wondering what a ceremonial mass centered on stone would look like.
