“Brilliant orange, yellow, and red leaves shed themselves and fall to the ground like memories, slowly fading to nothing.”

“The more time Colin [Pearson] spent ruminating about the past and fearing the future, the more he realized there wasn't a damn thing to be done about either of them. Why, then, waste so much energy dwelling on both?
Perhaps that was the real puzzle to solve. How to be in the now. The here. Maybe owning the present was really the key to happiness.
Later, months later, Colin would remember this thought. He'd remember back to this specific moment.... This thought about dwelling on the past and the future he'd remember with equal doses of irony and pain. And then, when he was much, much older, with a sad and crushing acceptance. Only with this acceptance would he ever finally own the present.”
