Autumn Days: 2

I was taking a walk with Norah and Stormy a couple of afternoons ago and came across an apple tree in full bloom--fruit dropping off of it and everything. In some weird way, it seemed hysterical to me that there was an apple tree with apples on it growing in a neighbor's backyard. It was as if I was walking around in some cliched postmodern world. Brian described a similar feeling last Saturday at the farmer's market--he said that it was as if people were enjoying the event not for the sake of the event but rather for their presence at the event. Too much self-awareness and not enough authenticity. Gosh, it is late and I don't know where I am going here. In any case, this apple is pretty.
