“The world is its own magic.” ~Shunryu Suzuki

“It's all a matter of paying

 attention, 

being awake 

in the present 

moment, 

and not expecting a huge 

payoff. 

The magic in this world seems to work in 
whispers

 and small 

kindnesses.” 

~Charles de Lint

"I come into the
peace
of wild things
who do not
tax
their lives
with forethought
of grief....
For a time
I rest
in the grace
of the
world,
and am
free."

~Wendell Berry

"I owe my solitude to other people."~Alan Watts

September has everything that I love about the fall. The amazing incandescent light, of course. Solitude. Cool, crisp days and their chilly star strewn nights. Subtle changes in the colors of the leaves as they start to turn. And life in general starts moving just a little bit slower. I think everybody could use a little more September in their lives.

Images taken at Stage Harbor... my favorite Chatham photo spot (just in case you couldn't tell!).
