Acknowledging that it didn't go as said

The crystal is lit.

I said: "The circle will start no later than Sunday, September 17." It won't. And I won't waste my energy or yours on explanations.

Today is a day when I can accept that I have no greater purpose in life than to simply be here - alive right now. I smell the fall air for the first time this year. I see a few leaves on the ground - are they, like me, eager for a future completely transformed from a past measured in epocs.

And I choose again to be here, in this meaningless, timeless moment of being the perception of the cool air on my skin, the scents, the colors, the sounds and so much more that goes beyond my powers of articulation. And I allow my purpose to be nothing but a design to sense this creation - my creation.

I love you for reading this.

Of course, I love you whether you read this or not so it can hardly be considered a reward to you. But, it is an acknowledgement of your generousity - your expression of love in reading.

Love, Woodson
