That's how we feel when he promotes prayer.

June was wild lettuce and stinging nettles. July was cherries and wild strawberries. August was forest berries. September was porcini.

September is a golden month of mellow sunlight and still clear days. ... Small creatures in the grass, as if realizing their days are numbered, cram the night air with sound. Everywhere goldenrod is full out.
