One Gone...One To Go

Yesterday...through the afternoon...and deep into the night...the sound of fireworks
going off...disturbed the peace...that might otherwise have prevailed. I hope that
despite the commerce fest that Halloween has become...that some experienced some
joyful time...sharing the delight of young members of their families...that can happen
..."sugar highs" notwithstanding. From today...probably...the pounding on the air waves and television screens...and elsewhere...will likely start in earnest...to fuel the lemming drive that Christmas has become. Again...it's
hard for me to be blissfully unaware of this aspect of the Peace and Goodwill to All
time. My hope is that...regardless...there will be some good friend and family time happening...leading up to...and on...the big day. In the meantime...I look forward to
January...and the sight of the first flowers of a new season...flowers have a way
of returning...regardless of whether the shops approve...or not..........Quester.
