Season’s Greetings: 11 / November
November: month of the russet orange Oak leaves finally releasing on the winds like flocks of birds or loose shingles from the rooftops. The anticipation, grief and relief of the skeletal forms of trees dominating the landscape. The first rainy days, and all the yellow leaves heavy-fallen from the Black Walnut trees are damp and clustered in puddles on the ground.
Two hours of November…
Hour one: long, lustrous, saudade.
Hour two: extended, microtonal, storytelling.
