Rehearsal and the Real Thing
A mountain monastery lost its hall to fire this year, then evacuated for another — which changes how you read a fall retreat schedule.
Labor Day, the long weekend that used to mean the end of something. Most schools opened weeks ago, so the old shared reset has frayed; still, the light is shortening, and the week leans toward turning without quite announcing it. Rosh Hashanah begins Friday at sundown — the new year, the ten days of return. The equinox is a fortnight off. Jane Hirshfield, in *After*, catches the exact register: "The heat of autumn is different from the heat of summer." You feel it in the body before the calendar confirms it.
