Full Up

But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31
"An idea for a short story about, um, people in Manhattan who are constantly creating these real, unnecessary, neurotic problems for themselves cos it keeps them from dealing with more unsolvable, terrifying problems about... the universe." Woody Allen

That is to truly experience the painstaking energy released in the 3 months leading to Fall...when the streets of New york embody a brand new sense of urgency and we all hit the ground running...in long pants.
Eh, you want real problems?
