My favorite time of year

My favorite time of year is beginning. Actually it's about the time from the start of the US OPEN to HALLOWEEN. It's a great time for sports. You have the last Tennis grand slam, sometimes the ryder cup in golf, you have the MLB post season race, and the start to the NFL season. Later in October there's the start of the NHL and NBA seasons. It's like for some reason, life is returning to America. Everyone is returning home from their summer vacations, and the temperature is starting to get a little cooler. The days are getting a little shorter, and the earth, for us in the north, is tilting a little bit away from the sun. It's a time of change, of the transitory; ephemeral, and it's really the only time when there's any mystery or magic the air. It's a special time. It's back to school, back to work, back to life. There's a resurgence of human life, despite the beginning of the end of natural life (at least for another season). There's excitement as the summer ends, blurring into the autumn. It's a time when the METAPHYSICS OF NIGHT takes hold, and fills one with a spiritual tingle through the spine, when hairs on the back of one's neck stand on end. When time fleeting, when the sun sets, and when the air is magic. I can't wait.
