Twice a year mankind is forced to reckon with balance. The day and the night meet in perfect unison as the sun sits right over the equator. Summer ends and everything falls into autumn. The trees feel it and drop their leaves. Animals begin prepping their dens with winter shutters and aluminum siding backed by pink fluffy insulation. Everyone waits for darkness to fall.
Hell of a week getting back into the swing of things, let me tell you. Right away we went from rising with the sun in Italy and finding beautiful images to share to squinting into the sunrise and spotting a leaf and saying, "That'll do." Hope springs eternal that the relaxed mind can continue, but sometimes that shit just lives outside of your natural life.
