"Things change, change. You cannot have anything, least of all the present - unless you accept all of it with the past and the future. Only their reality makes the present real" - Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed It's the end of summer and the leaves are green and on the trees and also brown and dead on the ground It's the end of summer and the beginning of something else

Great Auntie Bernie's not what she was, but in our one interaction still utterly rinses me. Mum: This is my DAUGHTER, Bernie. She's an ARTIST. Bernie: Is that all? We drank tea in the overgrown garden where my uncle's old farm equipment rusted and sank into the earth Somehow when I turned 30 I began to feel very young. I get flashes of how it'll feel to be 66, 71, 87, looking back to myself at this age At the time, I was reading The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin, and fell upon a line that described exactly what I was feeling

An old comic about the end of summer
Every summer my family and I return to the motherland - the west of Ireland. In 2022, thanks to the drought, its usual deep green was singed slightly brown Me and my aunties sprang - collected - my Great Auntie Nellie from her convent in Dublin, and drove west We stopped briefly in Tipperary Town to stand outside the house my mother and her sisters grew up in in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Suddenly they're bursting with memories: "This was my favourite step! My throne!" "I saw Thin Lizzy play in that church hall in 1969!" "That's Basil's house, where Basil lived. He made the town gravestones" Further west again, we visit a living part of that old Ireland. The farm where the last stalwarts of my grandmother's generation live. [Great Uncle Ned, 84, Great Auntie Nellie, 90, Great Auntie Bernie, 89, sit chatting, hunched in chairs]
