Today I got an email from a friend who lives in the Washington DC area. He wrote about the full fall season, the impressive autumn array of deep orange and caramel browns while the leaves keep falling.
Our back yard had it's "stunning few weeks" of bright red and some oranges but it is close to being over. Our blue sky almost never fails us. The mountains are "pretty good".
A note from a good friend who is now far away is very welcome. It is a little surprising and or less than what you would really hope for how many good friends just don't stay in contact. It takes an effort but mostly as I look back over the years I recall the people on the trail.
What is life and for that matter what will the eternities be like is a important question...............at least I think it is. Mostly the answers you find are illustrated as a trail we took, a path we followed or even a trip. The pictures I posted today are on the trail. Even my friends pictures bring back memories of when I was there and my recollections. I don't think that life is just places, especially pictures. I don't think the trail is places or things. New cars are nice for a few days but most new things just become old things. The best part of the trail was and continues to be "the people" on the trail.
Today's email was a good thing. A reconnection again of one that has been somewhat regular. Emails make it all easier. I got a phone call yesterday from an associate from years past from Utah who was asking for recollections of a very good friend from my collage days. The friends daughter was looking for some insight into her dads life. Her dad had been my very good friend. He and another friend had a great deal of positive influence on me in collage. I miss them both.
