I was searching in my old Blogger archives this morning, looking for inspiration for this month’s newsletter. I actually was searching for something totally different, but happened across the issue I’m quoting below.
As I looked at the date, saw the opening lines, my heart nearly stopped.
The day after I wrote this … my mother died.
I think I love autumn best because, though it heralds the inevitable dark and cold of winter, it’s also a reminder that within that darkness grows new light. Within the death of the leaves, the departure of the geese, resides life waiting to breathe again, and the return of the creatures and blooms of spring.
our first Creature Thoughts of a new year will be to revisit a year of long ago.
Without further ado….
Pree Am Siamese.
Twenty Twenty. To say that this year has been a challenge would be a major understatement. We entered the year thinking “20/20” would mean perfect vision.

“Everything in life is vibration.” — Albert Einstein
Or, even more dramatically:
“Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter.” ― Albert Einstein
Okay, I think we can all agree that Mr Einstein was a pretty smart guy. If he says that everything is vibration, and that, when broken down to the most baseline truth, there is no matter, that sure gives us something to think about.
The Dog Days of Summer. As a lover of words, as well as of dogs, I couldn’t help wondering where that phrase originated. It turns out that ancient cultures saw a connection between the hottest days of the summer season and the rising of the star Sirius.
