this is an ode.

it's here.
I felt it today as I stepped out of my apartment door. The first wiff of it came to my nostrils as I jay walked across Canyon Rd.
And then.....I stepped on a crunchy leaf.

Fall. The word should be said revrently. With much awe and love.

Winter, don't get me wrong, I love you too. But there is something about fall...

Everything changes. The smells, the weather, the styles, the foods. And it keeps you on your toes because not a one of us can be sure what is around the corner.

Fall is a mystery. A combination of change and beauty. In a world where we don't associate change with anything good, let alone beautiful, Fall is lovely contridiction.
