  A poetic still life painting with metaphoric meaning (at least to me that sees metaphor in everything) the darkening of the season. Short but pregnant with meaning. A time of harvest.

    Dark but still fruit and life sustaining. Thanks, Soren 🙏🏻🕊️

    So, it could be the feline in their majesty's service... ask Y and get 9 lives in reply... 007 has only got 2 left under his belt... or was it his holster?

  It's the 'Late Sunlight' that speaks to me.
  Of not wanting to let go. To keep the Autumn alive. Enjoyed.

  My favorite season, and not favorite at the same time!

  • 

    arqiosSeptember 21st, 2026 05:18

    I had that same thought... with Spring it's the pollen and other allergens that bug me... with autumn it's the dryness of the atmosphere. Can't have everything, I suppose.

    Michio Kushi said that the quality of the blood plays a big role in allergies etc. To help with this you could try out "Earthing," the Wim Hof breathing method, and last but not least, the early morning sunlight.
    (I hope I`m not giving you "unsolicited advice" here as I know that makes some folks explode in rage!)

    Oh I’ve been doing earthing and the early morning light! But still hinting down the best blankie to lie on as I’ve got a bad allergy to grass.
