strange winds.....

Last night, many people couldn't sleep. Tossing, turning, vivid dreams, all that wind mixing up the energy, mixing up our minds. Today the full moon keeps a peaceful watch over a still valley, things are changing so fast. I'm struggling to stay focused on "now," when the future seems too rapidly approaching and the past peeks out from everything like a dark color under a first coat of paint. I don't know how much, honestly, I will miss this place. How that can be when it's a place I've put my hands deep into the dirt, my breath into the trees, my sweat and tears into the rivers, I don't know. I'm leaving so much of myself here, maybe I'll miss it more than I realize. Ah, this restless fall.
