It finally feels like the season is upon us. I spotted the headless horseman for the first time tonight on my block(!), and it reminded me to share some advice for those near and far on just how to tarry. 🎃🍁🏇

Hope you enjoy my little poem inspired by ‘Uncle Wash’ and our wonderful shops in town. Let the season begin! 🧙‍♀️🪄🧟‍♀️

Even the forsythia is confused, saying, “what is going on with this weather? Is it spring already???!!!”

Almost 80 degrees here in New York today in October. 🤔☀️

This is Greta and Gabriel, a mourning dove couple just taking a break from their nest on a beautiful first day of autumn in my dogwood tree. 🪽🪺

Extra points if you get the literary reference in their names. 📖

Today is Leonard Cohen’s birthday. And I’m so pleased that on this day, two of my latest poems were just published in .

Thank you for sharing the bittersweet joy of poetry and poetry submission with these two pieces. I think Mr. Cohen might have approved of their paradoxical reverie.

Getting excited for the launch of Tarry, a new literary magazine inspired by our charming town and its many imaginative possibilities.

Washington Irving dreamed this ‘new’ place into existence and the rest is history:

“This name was given, we are told, in former days, by the good housewives of the adjacent country, from the inveterate propensity of their husbands to linger about the village tavern on market days”.

It was on this day in 1909 that G Stanley Hall invited Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, William James, and many other luminaries in the relatively new field of psychology to Clark University.

G Stanley Hall is shown with the red arrow next to Freud and Jung and three spots over from James.

So proud to share that Hall was a Williams alum! 😎

Another fun fact. On the boat to America, it’s reported that Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud spoke for 13 hours straight. Or as this tune shows, it was almost like being in love 🚢

I consider this the psychology equivalent of the photo of Jazz greats in Harlem nearly 50 years later which includes Sonny Rollins heard in this recording. 🎺🎶

Columbine, Again

We are the only country
that can turn a flower
Into a weapon
and crow
about freedom
again and again—
and for what
do we stand?

It’s all I could say today listening to a father lose his beloved son on the news. Again here in the United States.

Some places you find in your own backyard, and they are magical. Somehow, they take you away and bring you back. This is that place for us. So nice to get away for a little bit, and so nice to return….🌊⛱️☀️😎
