the glass is falling by the hour

 
“You are the sky. Everything else – it’s just the weather.” 
Pema Chödrön
 
 
Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.
John Ruskin

 
 
“Solitude is the soil in which genius is planted, creativity grows, and legends bloom; faith in oneself is the rain that cultivates a hero to endure the storm, and bare the genesis of a new world, a new forest.” 
Mike Norton, White Mountain

“It was one of those perfect English autumnal days which occur more frequently in memory than in life.” 
P.D. James, A Taste for Death

 
We're like crystal, we break easy
I'm a poor man, if you leave me
I'm applauded, then forgotten
It was summer, now it's autumn
New Order, Crystal
