complicit


My husband drives and I spend the time gazing through the window. The beauty of long shadows on this late summer evening makes me weak. That, and heading out of town away from work and electronic tethers. 

The road curves and the view from a bridge affords a view not of the expected winding stream or placid lake with grassy shores but of a sea of green and golden corn, tassels rippling in a light breeze. The field rises and dips, shimmering as it recedes into the distance. 

It seems an act of magic, possible only by nature and imagination, a complicity of factors to make even the dying of a season a thing of beauty.
