I wrote this to a friend of mine who is going through a really rough patch, and I thought, well, maybe I’ll share it here because someone else needs to hear it today.

It really has been a year from hell.

Sending you light and love and
it’s a beautiful fall day, full of light and
love and colors and grief.

Walk through some dry fallen leaves,
kick up the smell,
listen to the crunch they make.

It’s a beautiful fall day full of light and
love and color and grief and
dry, dead leaves on the ground that
will nourish the soil so that
the leaves will grow again.
