Entry in the All Things Autumn theme on BudgetPixel.

🧡 All things Autumn 🍂 My favorite kind of season. Seeing beauty in what is shifting, fracturing, or coming to a close, and choosing to stay with it long enough to truly understand, rather than rushing to restore its former brightness. Here, darkness and gentleness dwell together. Even without total surrender, there is a gentle negotiation with what ultimately must be released.. a desire to grasp a bit more, to preserve the feeling just a while longer. That, too, is a form of grace.
