Transcript:
Caulfield: Everybody raves about Autumn leaves, but I like this flash of color better. Frazz: Because of the whole Robert Frost nature's-first-green-is-gold thing? Caulfield: Whatever, professor. Frazz: Because it's more brilliance in newness that grace in decay? Caulfield: Because it's going on in front of me and I can't remember fall that well. Frazz: Nothing appreciates beauty like a microscopic attention span. Caulfield: I like to think of it as a be-here-now thing.

I like that line, More brilliance in newness than grace in decay. One time when that would not apply would be with the life cycle. No one says, look at how gracefully that baby sucks his thumb. Although I do stumble at times, then say to myself, “That was smart.”

So in the fall, Caufield says the same thing?

Seems to me that if he has absorbed and embraced “Be here now”, then he has already learned quite a bit more than people even older than himself.

Beautiful colors today. Nice illustration of the poem.

Beautiful comic today Jeff. Those few short weeks of spring make the horrid winters memories fade. The great rebirth of the world in all its glory. Plus it’s warm. I can never really enjoy fall because it’s cold and I know what’s coming.

This could easily be a Calvin & Hobbes strip. Reflective, out in nature, slightly self-deprecating. :) Just lovely today!

Caulfield having a Zen moment. He/we could use more.
