“September is a sweep of dusky, purple asters, a sumac branch swinging a fringe of scarlet leaves, and the bittersweet scene of wild grapes when I walk down the lane to the mailbox.

Everywhere goldenrod is full out.”
“Congenital naysayers are among the greatest stumbling blocks to thinking free. Rather than imagining how a new idea might possibly work, they instinctively think of all the reasons why it won't.

But what they really do is undermine the creativity that can be harvested from thinking free.”
“If you feel like an outsider, you tend to observe things a lot more.”
