Welcome pumpkins, autumn colors, cool nights.

And I pray for peace.

Reading loads of books. Gone back to James Martin’s book on Jesus.

Listening to the new Neal Stephenson audiobook Polostan. I’m loving it goes back in the beginning to the building of our local Golden Gate Bridge here in San Francisco, California.

I like all colors.

I don’t have any dislikes. Well I avoid the occult. I dabbled in it and I do it recommend messing around with it or my experience was frightening to me. Of course, results may differ for each person but magic, the occult, tarot and all of that stuff in staying away from now.

That said I do accept my own shadow and dark sides.

Recent tv series that I am watching is the Ice Murders set in Italy. It’s part of the PBS Masterpiece subscription. And I’ve been working through all these different ones the Paris Murders, murder in Sweden aka Maria Wern, Prime Suspect the old ones back 30 years. Van der Valk which is set in the Netherlands. Ice Cold Murders is a show from Italy from the Italian Alps and I’m watching that show too.
