Your question What is the kindest accurate thing to say?

The spread

  1. What the season gives First Bloom Evidence, not hope. Something you planted is provably alive. What to avoid: Celebrating at the sprout and abandoning at the stem.
  2. What it takes Storm Front Pressure, then release. Decisions made in this weather tend to stick. What to avoid: Arguing with the weather instead of waiting.
  3. What it asks of you Storm Front Pressure, then release. Decisions made in this weather tend to stick. What to avoid: Arguing with the weather instead of waiting.

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

The centre of the omen is Storm Front, and it belongs entirely to this time of year: a small, seasonal, manageable thing.

The closing note is about the light returning, which it always does, on a schedule nobody negotiates.

What to do

Return the borrowed item.
