Brown and yellow leaves swirl around me like Autumn snow and it might be
depressing if the sound track of my life was not playing in my ears and a
bright red leaf did not appear as if by magic to land right above my heart.
This is the stuff of my life now. Fairy tale walks listening to music created
especially for me.
Coming home I eat lunch and doze in my chair while the earth
rumbles and quakes in the throes of a thunderstorm. It always rains on important days in my life. I don’t know why that is, but I like
it. Thunder and lightning, rain
pattering against my windows, I sit snugly under the knitted cover of my favorite throw and life tells me it doesn’t get much better than this.
But it does!
Modern technology slips in through the mist of my nap and I
am awakened by a call inviting me to Skype!
Skype! Skype! It sounds like maybe
Pegasus is about to come galloping through the thunder and lightning and land
on my porch.
But instead I go to the computer and the face gazing back at
me stuns me with its beauty. Whatever
name I attach to it, we have known each other forever and the next hour is
flooded with joy…
Old English, Middle English, Canterbury Tales and the
hardest part is remembering that I am in the Heartland on a simple fall day in
2012.
