maid_of_madison and I went on a walk, seeking October Points. It was lovely to spend an afternoon with her and we had some good conversations. We likely gained some October Points too, though I think I gained more on my walk on the old lane that I posted about a couple entries ago, though that was technically in September. The leaves were pretty but the walk focused mostly around conversation (which was all interesting and good) than the sort of spooky excited feeling I usually get from October Points gaining activities. It was lovely, though, to walk away from the river and suddenly see what appeared to be a gravestone. I think it was actually part of a very old memorial which was next to a newer memorial but I still had a feeling of stepping into the past. I like the feeling of crossing a threshold between our solid expected world and something else entirely.
October Points, invented by
lex_of_green were originally created so that, even if your halloween was not spooky or autumnal, you'd stockpiled enough October experiences that it made up for it. I just love the motivation to wander through leaves and find strange old places. Must find new places to walk as well. Anyone is free to use October Points! Take walks look for old/spooky places!
