An unexpected, glorious sunset last Saturday evening & serendipitous timing as I found myself mid-span on the Cambie Street bridge at the loveliest moment of the day:

Red tree

285/365

Red tree, go on
Red tree, go on
You've waited a long time
You've waited a long time
Red tree, go on

~ verse from Green Grass, Red Tree by Don Peris
from the CD Birds of My Neighborhood by the Innocence Mission 

My memories seem to be divided sharply by season; the fall memories are the most vivid but also the most mysterious. I don’t know that we are losing touch with the rhythm of the seasons. So many people I know feel this same tremendous anticipation at the start of each season, a feeling that everything is beginning, but also of being reconnected to the past because of memory being triggered.

~ Karen Peris, hearsay UK interview

 

I listened to this CD during my run along the seawall the other morning -- a seemingly odd choice of music at first thought but really quite perfect for the season. Actually, I was hardly aware of running -- my thoughts were about water, leaves, berries, and sky around and above me, and the cool autumn air entering my lungs.
