Tea: Joseph's Dream with Honey
Music: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, "Get Ready for Love."
Time: Night.
I've been driving all over northeast Kansas for the past week -- and it's not good for my neck. Not because of the driving, but because of this glorious red distraction along the roadsides and hillsides.
I don't know the name of the plant -- a hip-high shrub -- but its leaves are this color.
It's already starting to fade, taking on purplish undertones -- and that's its own kind of gorgeous against the yellow of the Flint Hills.
The world is going to sleep. The leaves are dying, and the grass is whispering of low skies and snow.
But it's a lovely sort of passing.
Tonight's story:
G.K. Chesterton, "The Hammer of God"
