This Is the Way...
Couldn't Get It Out of My Head
Yesterday was a blustery autumn day in my hometown
of Monrovia, California. "Fall-like" weather comes late to Southern California.
But it comes! I had gone down to our town library to do some research for my next
column. I nestled in to a quiet corner of the already hushed world of library life
and peered out from my window on the world and happily gazed on the rites of autumn
unfolding before me.
Colorful and dashing leaves were marching back and forth on the surrounding grounds
of Library Park and the town folk were bustling and cheerful with the gleeful feel
of the approaching American Thanksgiving holiday. Parents and grandparents with their
young ones were running around the adjacent park enjoying every moment. No one seemed
to have a care in the world. The ever-present mountains, which hover over my town,
were so crystal clear that you could count every pine tree to the top of each peak.
It was just simply one of those days when you say, "Life is good."
In the midst of all of this autumnal splendor, my mind drifted back to the job at
hand. I poured over various periodicals that spotlighted the recent big headline
issues of Afghanistan, the war on terror, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the recent
hostage-taking assault in Moscow, the oil tanker spill off the coast of Spain and
on and on. The various covers of the national and international magazines had all
the familiar faces on them: President Bush, Saddam Hussein, Hans Blix or a sea gull
mired in oil.
