Fall Scents

Drifting

Hello HP, that last word drifting was the perfect release, as if everything had been gently let go. Like a warm mug held close while watching leaves tumble. Autumn Blessings, HP, Daniel

I appreciate your insightful words that evoke the natural cycles of letting go and renewing, which is the transitory nature of autumn itself. Thank you, from William Kekaula, in Hilo, Hawaii. Aloha.
