		<description><![CDATA[My little brook is in full flood after all the rains. I love the waters of spring: the surging, overflowing streams; the springs that nourish the first searingly green new growth; the rainpools swallowing the fields, gray sheets mirroring the sky, their surfaces riffled by the passing winds, and in their depths the submerged grasses [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Last week I walked up to Marquand Park one day at lunch, to visit its threadleaf Japanese maple tree. It&#8217;s my favorite tree in the park, decked in patches of moss and lichen fans, with its wriggling gray branches twisting and turning intricately upon themselves until they erupt into radiating domes of leaves as fine [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went down to the lake at lunchtime yesterday, to sit and watch the reflections of the willows, the sun, and the passing clouds, to drop leaves into the water and watch them turn in the slow, eddying currents.
Sometimes patience is so hard. Taking time is so hard. It seems as if it should be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So the path was closed, but I went around the long way, through the maze of fenced-in small athletic fields, trying to figure out how to get to where I was trying to go. (I could have just gone the really long way, around the fields altogether, down through the woods and back along the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So as you might be able to guess from the last two posts (if the name of the blog hasn&#8217;t already given it away), rivers are almost certainly going to feature prominently here. Part of it is that I tend to experience Bast in an extremely riparian aspect. She&#8217;s not only the Lady of Fire [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I think I figured out why the idea of hush was so particularly attractive, considering that last night in shrine I suddenly realized just how perilously close to burnout I am right now. I&#8217;ve been running nonstop on two tight writing deadlines, one personal, one freelance, and today I had to take a little [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, during the long weekend, I went for a walk at Natirar, a local park along the North Branch of the Raritan River. It first opened to the public sometime within the last few years, but I hadn&#8217;t gotten around to checking it out before &#8212; and admittedly that day might have not been [...]]]></description>
