I'm not a pessimist. I just think it's great that today is the first day that the hours grow shorter. Yesterday was the longest day of the year, and as a fan of autumn, I'm looking forward to the darkness rolling slowly closer. Summer is fine for a little while, but my heart warms when the night grows colder and the dried leaves curl. Turning up the collar of my coat, I move ever closer to you.
"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing; doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before." -Edgar Allan Poe
