Taste: Nocino and Pumpkin Amaretto cider Sound: om mani padme hum; chewing; October wind; humans saying, "Meow!" Smell: spiced cider Sight: Morning sun shining softly through the leaves; horse chestnuts, chestnut, hawthorne; pink, orange, yellow dawn Touch: blustery, unfocused, scattered Intellect, ideas, and dreams: Grief is love. Loss. Nostalgia. Cravings. Sugar cravings. Coziness. Quotes: "There's a lot of things that I think we should let them do because that's what they want to do." - Maria Karunungan of Fetch the Leash in Bark! by Zazie Todd "When grief arises, be still. Sit with it. Let sadness flood you. Don't stay in it too long. You don't want to become overwhelmed. But dip in and fully experience what it really is." --Oct. 18, A Daily Dose of Now by Nita Sweeney Grateful for: Voting. Connections.
