I woke up in my usual morning haze, stumbled through my morning routine and sloughed out to the bus stop. As is usual I had my ipod shuffling away, but not really paying attention. Then, "The Leaves that are Green" by Simon and Garfunkel came up. A pretty song, but nothing I've really though much of. As it played a gentle wind started up, and I found myself surrounded by a soft shower of autumn leaves drifting away from the trees. I just listened, really listened, and watched and just was. For a brief moment I felt the song and just floated away on its harmonies and the soft wind.
It's cheesy I know, but sometimes it feels like little almost transcendent moments like these are what make things ok, just for a little bit.
Hello there! I totally spaced your comment on Mormon Matters until just now. YES the leaves. Oh, the leaves.
ReplyDeleteI am a 2L transfer student, so I'm new to WCL this semester. Woo-woo. We should meet, talk etc.
Cheers,
Kate
Oh fun, I'm a 2L as well. Where did you transfer from? It really would be great to meet, talk, etc, sometime. Granted this isn't exactly a time of the semester with oodles of free time, but still.
