what a difference time can make

such a rush of color feeling
painted landscapes brushed and brilliant
i'm left breathless blinded reeling
living canvases revealing
leaves that make me feel
like i'm in love


Can I just tell you how an earlier sunrise can turn a dragging commute into a glory-filled experience? not that I saw the sunrise this morning, mind you, but it is quite amazing the way the autumn trees lit up by the early morning light can transform an "am I going to make it?"-45-minute commute into the most wonderful ride.

oh, how I wish I were in the mountains....maybe I can just pretend I'm driving up the Blue Ridge Parkway as I drive to work in the mornings. at least until I hit the Beltline.
