Yesterday I looked around, and the scene was suddenly bare and brown. The glowing orange trees along the driveway, whose color I had savored with each early evening sunset, were done.
At that moment, it seemed profoundly similar to my "sudden" switch as I begin to plan for life on the west coast, now aiming to move with the first of the year. How can a transition be sudden when you've had your eyes tracking it for almost a year? (Why is it a mild shock to see trees bared for winter?) Yet, realities like health insurance and housing have a way of making it real!
So, the seasons change in that mysterious methodical way. The sun slants differently. Life shifts gears.
