fall time always makes me smile a soft smile of happiness. when i was young i related it to halloween and all of the fun associated with it. now that i am slightly older i think about the fall i got my drivers license and was allowed some freedom. i remember getting a job and loving to go to work. to be able to do something on my own for my own good was a great feeling. i specifically remember driving around the blind curve of my high school, on the back side. the fall leaves orange and red. i would take this path after school every day, going down to the science rooms on the other side and the small parking lot there. the girl i was dating at the time would ride with me sometimes and we would sit and talk in the car before i went into science club (i know...). i remember that fall was cooler than others and the windows would fog up from our breath condensing on them. she would draw shapes and faces and little hearts with her finger on the glass. when i drove my brothers car this summer i looked up and saw through the reflection on the sunroof there was still a little heart faintly apparent on the glass from so long ago. literally lifetimes have passed now. i am someone completely different, but i can not deny the person i was then. i will always remember fall days and the feelings i have on them. tree lightings and all in the downtown square. pictures of campus, orange red and just a hint of green. there isnt a thing that pushes me away. i always keep moving. and so should you. best regards.
tim.
