put me in a quiet corner with a book in my hand with humanity moving in a stream around me leaving behind echoes of laughter steaming mocha drinks teasing my nose a rainy cool fresh breezy fall day rich rustymustard leaves cling to the grey side walk a great day to observe
bring me a friend one who understands the need for companionable silent company someone comfortable as your aunt gladys straw hat who has danced through the summer's of life to be a bit sobered by approaching winter
this is not a place for cold observation but a deep warmth to radiate out in reflection in appreciation of life around a pause in the hurryscurry days reverence for life and its rhythm knowing time is quickly riding away
