The sun comes out and stays out. The stickiness of summer is over because the dew point is lower. Instead of all the heat and humidity pressing in from all sides, the air feels crisp and fresh. At least where I am in Central Virginia.

Little Rituals
The image above is not of me but of a swimming friend named John. His life—at least the part I see at the pool—seems in balance. He starts with a ritual period of relaxation and meditation, and then he dives in to start his swimming workout. Slow and fast. Easy and hard. A miniature life in balance.
And so it is with me.
Equinox Exploitation
Exploiting the Autumnal Equinox (it’s today)??? Well, I do like to use the earth’s four seasonal markers to talk about my book writing. And today marks an important point, just like this fall equinox does (halfway to the winter solstice, when day equals night). I’m finalizing the “polished” 1st draft of my new novel.
