The spread

  1. What the season gives Falling Leaf Release without grief. The tree does not negotiate. What to avoid: Letting go of something that still had a season left.
  2. What it takes Thaw Movement after stillness, and the mud that comes with it. What to avoid: Expecting the thaw to arrive already organised.
  3. What it asks of you Thaw Movement after stillness, and the mud that comes with it. What to avoid: Expecting the thaw to arrive already organised.

It is autumn in Washington, D.C., and the reading begins with the least mysterious fact available: the light is a particular length today.

With Thaw at the centre, the reading points at the food, the sleep and the walking you keep postponing to a better month.

The last line warns about the middle of autumn, when everything feels either too early or too late.

What to do

Take the earlier train.

Timing
