Photo walk

Sunday morning, the sun is still waking up, the shadows are long and the air is crisp.

Yellow flowers on my way, they are taking over the walking path.

Cargo-ships are in hurry to reach their destination before the river freezes and their season ends.

Of course, more yellow flowers!

This photo reminds me of impermanence, changes, and letting go.

Beautiful leaves, they are Autumn’s flowers.

Hope you enjoyed walking with me! Have a great week!

W3 :: Decisions

Bounds keep us grounded, and the freedom out of our hands. Is it worth it to blindly choose a path to freedom? Stability battles against feelings, destroying the ancestral foundations to create infinite space between past and present.

Tanka Tuesday :: uncommon fall words

welcome autumn joy
a muffin, pumpkin spice latte
kouyou everywhere
an dulcet invitation
guiding me to a fika

kouyou – Leaves changing color dulcet– Sweet, sugary
fika – A concept in Swedish culture with the basic meaning of making time with friends for coffee and a little something to eat; “a coffee and cake break.”

W3 :: The veil

AI generated
distressed soul
carrying the weight of the past
crawling between crumbs of memories

darkness takes over your surroundings 
deep into your being
the veil is thinning

while bare branches reach to you
a carpet of leaves welcomes you
the golden light is your portal

II. Lisa’s prompt guidelines

Fall always feels like a season of both endings and beginnings, doesn’t it? For this week, let’s explore those transitions in a Quadrille—a 44-word poem, a form first shared with us by the wonderful d’Verse Poets Pub.

Your poem can lean into endings, beginnings, or the mix of the two. And if you’d like an extra spark, here’s a thought from Friedrich Nietzsche:

I notice that autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature.
