The transition to autumn happened tonight.
At least in my mind it did.
And I was there to 'feel' the moment .... the first autumn breeze.
I quietly celebrated the occasion.
In the parking lot of a Walgreens.
There were times a year ago where I wondered if I'd see this moment.
So I'm thankful tonight.
You can't plan for these moments.
When I was a teenager, I swear I once felt the moment that autumn transitioned to winter while I was picking up the greasy shed walnut pods in the backyard of the house I grew up in.
In my ongoing obsession with songs, today I've been listening to various versions of the song, 'Rogers Park' by Justin Townes Earle.
Remembering the night I saw him in concert in Portland.
I was a huge fan of his father but knew very little about JTE before that evening.
His talent was so blatant and obvious.
I wasn't sure at the time thinking it might just be his mannerisms, but I think his demons were on display as well.
R.I.P.
