September—month of the seventh embers? Month of raking over the coals . . . finding all those things undone back from the hopeful early months, the energetic months, the months when promises were made and ambitious projects begun. And in the meantime books and papers have piled higher, weeds have grown tall again, the windows gotten no cleaner, the sunflowers out front—once brave and bright—now bent from the weight of their heads and netted tightly against the squirrels.
I must devise some kind of cure against this negative thinking.
