The morning of October 6th, 2025 at 6:00 AM.
This is my favorite time of year, the beginning of the holiday season. In Ohio, this would mean cooler temperatures, football games and leaves changing colors.
Here in Pacifica and at this time of my life, Fall means less fog, sometimes higher temperatures, and Orion over my head in the peaceful early morning.
This morning was especially magical with a moon like this on the horizon, no fog, the stars visible, a warm soft breeze and relative silence. My mind has been disheveled and chaotic lately. This morning brought it peace and tranquility. I’ll try to hold on to some of that as the day begins.
