Autumn

Autumn is around the corner.  I can tell because there was a chill in the wind that blew outside this morning.  I could smell it.  It's coming.  The memories of  autumn past came running through my mind.  My heart overflowing with emotions.  The past is past as they say. Can't turn back the time.  But  I feel that  if  I  blink my eyes I can "be there".   I can still remember the winding path I use to take to get  to my college classes.  I remember waiting for friends before dinner  right outside the dining hall.  I remember making plans for my future and how imperative it was to not get distracted from them.  I can still remember the plan, yes..."the plan."   I remember the path I took that brought me here.  It wasn't easy and it wasn't clear whether I was taking the right path... The path to love. The path to live in love.
