Where has time gone?

I hear a slight humming sound coming from my room.
I turn around and notice that nothing could be making this noise except...
I realize it is the low electrical symphony coming from my brain. I then realize that with the arrival of autumn, I can sit back into my favorite chair, have a glass of wine and tune the world out for awhile. That slight humming sound is my mind switching gears from the tasks of every day to the nocturnal creative beast that is lurking inside.
The summer has faded again and now I see the changes that autumn brings on the horizon. I take several deep breaths and look around. This time of year has always been my thanksgiving. A time where I bow my head and prepare for the following year.
2012 will be upon us soon enough and with the chaos of the world still leaving plenty of uncertainty for everyone. It is always a comfort to know that for now, my mind still has the capacity to take flight into the world of creativity.
