October


I'm thinking about how the weather
affects moods and what a distinct pleasure
these early October days have been here,
especially after bracing for potential harm from Ian.
I'm thinking about "a harvest of sensation 
that both roots and uplifts."
I'm thinking about how trees
have an "antifreeze" protein
that protects cells from freezing.
The wonder of it! 
All that's going on within and beneath
the bark of those silent, stately creations.
What a marvel.

I'm also thinking about those humans who
are suffering or dead due to the violent weather
with reverence and sorrow.
May they find some solace and comfort
amidst the devastation.
