Dear Marjorie, (Part Ten)
You know how easy it is for time to pass by, and in an extended blink of an eye, you have been away for almost two weeks. I've no right to complain, of course, as you have your own things to do and your own life, as do I despite ourselves being linked in so many ways. But, I have not thought about freedom for a long time, preferring (when you are a distance, of course) in its stead the chains of commitment.
The neighborhood is pretty much the same, with its combination of the high and the low (mostly low, if one were to regard its inhabitants)- but, in fact, there are many ways in which nature makes its presence known. From small glimpses in the corner of the eye to full-on lavish displays of autumnal splendor, it begins to freeze moments that are particular to oneself- and, in looking up, looking into its depths, all around that was of no value becomes even more unimportant.
