There are seasons in life that do not arrive loudly.
They arrive slowly.
A change in the air.

And still — there is beauty in it.
A deeper beauty.
Not the beauty of beginnings…
but the beauty of becoming honest with change.
Because endings are not always destruction.
Sometimes, they are preparation.
This season asks something difficult:

This piece honors that transformation.
