Amman, Jordan
Dear Friends,
Fall has come to the northeast of the U.S. from where I hail. Although it is still T- shirt weather here in Amman, I imagine the leaves falling from the trees, a symbol of the passing of life, a forecast of the cold grip of the coming winter months. It is a natural phenomenon. The landscape will become barren and stark until spring arrives, if indeed spring comes again.
