Autumn
by Ron Sanford
The seasons are changing again
Defying the rigid man-made calendars
Leaves of all varieties drop from the trees
As shoppers rush to buy goods with plastic cards
In hand. We knew it would be cold outside
But we rationalized and were caught unprepared.
Every leaf hits the ground when they are due
The process cannot be rushed.
M ight is not right. Bullying will not succeed.
Leaves fall when they fall. Let them be.
Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. Back to the
Earth from which they came and to
Provide some snacks for the little critters
Who work diligently to manicure them and
Keep them looking pretty.
Gifts, Photos with Santa,
Phone Calls and Live Jazz!
IT'S

The Coming Times
POTLUCK
by Bryant King
The coming times will be a favorable time to break the spell we have been under,
or shatter an illusion we have been caught up in, or burst free from a trance we
have felt powerless to escape. If we move to seek help from strangers, friends or
family, please do so. But I bet we can accomplish the feat all by ourselves. Trust
our hunches! Tap into both our primal anger and primal joy. Envision things that
tempt us to hate life and inspire us to love life. With this volatile blend as our
fuel, we can explode the hold of the spell, illusion or trance.
