Memories of Leaves

Every morning, Clio takes a walk outside. 

The light at this time of year is magical. 

It’s easy to believe you’ve been transported to another place. 

The garden is a place of reflection. 

The leaves are red. 

And gold. 

I remember raking up huge piles of leaves and diving through them with the dogs. And building a hidden fort in this pile so that I could watch the outside world without being seen. 

Some desires never leave us.
