“Acceptance is not surrender, it is trust in the wisdom of what is.”

Autumn continued its slow undoing. Leaves fell without hesitation, trusting the ground to receive them. In that surrender was grace, not defeat.

Allowing does not erase the ache; it honors it. It gives emotion space to breathe, to teach, to transform. Happiness and sorrow can share the same hour, they are not untrusting of the other, but companions in growth.

The path forward wasn’t about control but openness, a willingness to meet life where it is and keep walking.

Tomorrow, the path will curve again, leading somewhere familiar yet newly seen.
