October withdraws from expectations. Withdraws
from imagined roles. Here the centre is available by request. The ground
disables illusions. The body withdraws from others’ demands, seeks peace where
the body may rest. Shade is cool and water is fresh. Mind withdraws from world
news that is broken. That is broken eventfully every minute. Withdraws to the
bigger world of private thoughts and long memories. Senses withdraw that
frazzled through the long haul. Withdraw to the marvel of familiar objects and
nature’s colours. To sounds over which there’s some control. To touch again home
charms: garden trowel, light switch, favourite book...
