Ew; is that Fall I feel?

 Good morning to those of you out west, and "how's lunch" for you Easterners. It's 8:49 and I've just consumed my morning collection of supplements, a potpourri of oils, herbs, and an aspirin, topped off by some tea. Is it delicious? Use your imagination.
  I'm feeling pretty good about leaving Face Book. I haven't had more than one or two moments of panic and certainly no withdrawal headaches. I also feel good about walking my walk, in regards to simplifying life in general and becoming more contemplative. Face Book is all about reaction. Too much reaction depletes your adrenal system.
  The air has turned just ever so slightly here. It's barely detectable, but I feel it. The hummingbirds seem more serious( alright, I guess hummingbirds always seem serious to a lot of you, but in the summer they have so much nectar available that it's the avian version of hitting the tapas bars in Barcelona, little bit here, little bit there). The hills are gold. School has started for many. The crush has started in the wine country.
   Two days ago I was having my evening walk up the dirt road towards our neighbors place, the Cow Track Ranch. It was later than we usually go, but the light was beautiful. Serenity . A whisper of clouds. No sign of the red shouldered hawk that flees from us at a quarter mile away . This is how it should be, I remembered thinking. A peaceful time with a loved one, in rhythm the natural world, towards the end of a perfect day.
    Try hard to place yourselves into real world; the fantasy that is frothing from the television is  churning up to be a colossal shit storm. Never have I been more disgusted by the pandering , lies, and hypocrisy by our politicians. Keep a clear mind. If inclined, say your prayers. Talk to people. Smile.
