it was cold when i walked to school this morning. i walked through the path from totem to law school. a month ago the path was flanked by rows upon rows of trees with pretty multi-coloured leaves. it was almost like walking in an autumn rainbow wonderland.
today, the trees are there but the leaves are gone, and bare branches greet me as i walk by. the grass is still as green and the sky still as blue and as clear as if it had not been raining before and will not be raining again, but the starkness strikes me.
beauty is beauty only because it is fleeting. it captures you for a moment, and then it is soon dead.
now playing: hotel costes - cafe de flor
