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 :: 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

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.

Fall colours

Fall colours are popping up around here, starting with the golden sunlight in the early morning and late afternoon. I saw these sunflowers at the grocery store last week. They have the most exquisite colours, and I couldn’t resist; I brought them home. 

Pumpkin spice is my fave taste this time of the year, everything, from lattes to candles. Cinnamon, apple pies… delicious, and delicious. 

And of course, cozy up with a great story. I got these three books for September. Strong women’s characters are always my to go when choosing a book.

Little things here and there, trying to focus on the positive.

“There is a harmony in autumn, and a lustre in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been!” 

Percy Bysshe Shelley 

Autumn sunset

Sunset on Oct 27th – no filter applied!
Peacing my thoughts
Before the world darks
I forwarded myself into the light
Believing that magic still exits

I hearted my feelings
For a few minutes
The golden possibled my being
Magnetically

I listened to my intuition
And didn’t science my soul
I let go of expectations
I was sevening again

Autumn’s delish

Hello my friends, I hope you are enjoying the new season. Autumn started yesterday here in Canada. I’m so glad it was a Sunday and I could sleep in and I had a delicious breakfast which included pumpkin pie and my homemade plum jam. I also decorated the table with a white pumpkin, it is a tradition for me, every year I buy 3 white pumpkins, I keep them on one of my windowsills during the season. I had a wonderful creamy coffee in my pumpkin mug.

The weekend was beautiful, surprising warm for this time of year and wonderful for going out and taking photos.

These are a few shots from the weekend.

Well, a new week is starting, I hope to keep the weekend vibes with me, I know it is impossible, but I’ll try my best.

Have a great new season!

it's six am
the moon is up there
autumn sky
sprinkling dew
she's always spying on me
warms up my being

autumn is
pumpkin bonfire scent
candles, always candle-light
haloed flame
it fills my being
I'm in awe

a warm cup of joy
an Himalayan white tea
sacred spot
these leaves have traveled
distant seas
to reach me

pen and paper by my side
safeguarding moments
my thoughts and wishes
which shouldn't be
scattered, lost
in this space
