The cool, foggy summer has passed in a gingko dream. Storm clouds gather as Autumn approaches. All is not well in lovely California.. not well at all.

And yet this season's Chrysanthemums have begun their journey even without my attention. I must not let them escape me. It is so easy to be oblivious to the beauty around us. Just a few days ago I drove across the San Francisco Bay Bridge without absorbing the stunning beauty of foggy silhouettes of San Francisco and images of the eternal, sleeping maiden of Mount Tam.

Even in times of distress I need to remember that these are the hours of life that are given to me and I will make of them what I choose.

I need to have a little chat with these flower blooms said, Princess Haiku. They never forget anything that is important.
