I went for a short walk earlier this evening before the rain came. I noticed the smell of Autumn, the freshness of the air. It was delicious 💕
I was inspired by the colours of the season, the hue of the sky, and grateful for all the berries that laden the trees for my winged friends.🐦
I was actually so inspired and full of gratitude for my life and everything in it.
Sometimes I forget to be grateful 🙏
I wrote a few words and took a few photos and I wanted to share them with you. 💕
"When the Leaves Begin to Turn"
Take a breath.
Notice the air around you…
How it has grown a little cooler,
A little more honest perhaps.
The trees do not mourn their green when gold arrives.
They loosen it gently, like a hand unclasping another.
After a long and faithful walk,
Releasing memory from each other.
See how the sky, too, is changing.
Its shadows longer,
Its light is a little softer,
Teaching us that even endings can be tender.
And in the garden, a single rose still lingers,
Its blush is brave against the chill.
Reminding us that beauty can remain,
Even as the season asks for a release.
So perhaps autumn is not an ending, but a transition.
From green into ember,
From youth into wisdom,
The restless into the rooted.
And as you carry your own changes,
As you feel the weight of shifting days,
Remember the leaves, overhead and tall
How they blaze brightest, just before they fall.
