Fall Inside: for
kittenspeaks
Oct. 5th, 2008 11:42 amThere is something encouraging about the fall and winter months, don't you think? Some kind of reassurance that comes from watching the leaves change colours and fall from their trees. It's a transition, sure, something to let you know that the world is always changing, but sometimes that's not what matters.
Sometimes, the important thing to remember is that, no matter how often the leaves change their colours, and tumble to the ground, no matter how many times they get stepped on, ground down, and burned... They always come back, again. Fresh, bright, green, and very much alive.
They feed themselves to themselves-- their smell and the coming cold mixed in the air, in the ground, everywhere-- and come out better for it. Isn't that great?

Four years ago,
thenowhere started an amazing meme. This year, I decided to mutate and continue it. Write something for me, that encompasses the mood, the emotion, the feeling of Fall. Two necessary components: Fall and Me. A feeling of me, a thought about me, a way you see me, something you want from me. "Just for me. Post it in your journal so everyone else can see it, too. A sentence, a paragraph. Nanofiction. Short story. A scene, dialogue, a picture described, a moment, anything. Long or short. But it's got to be just for me. Tell the world you wrote it for me, even. Mine.
"Then feel free to put this up in your own journal, and I'll reciprocate."
