Two days couldn't be further apart: from coldmizzling rain that seeped into my bones to thisgift of blue sky and the heat on my face as I runthe field’s edge that almost persuades me so muchmore has been gained overnight than a single hour.
Autumn plays us like this: discontent, joy,resignation, rekindling. While darkness movescloser each day we find comfort in the season’s shift:a palette of bronze leaves, wood-smoke, a coinfound in the pocket of a heavy coat.
Rewards enough to keep moving forward.
