At least two sides of a coin

Autumn. Decay. Decompose. Moisture. Mud. Darkness. Tired.

But it is indisputable also Chai tea. Snuggling on the couch under the favourite blanket. Candle lights. Board game. Removal of the old, to enable space for the new and fresh. Instead of thinking of how wet, pitch black, freezing it can be, don't forget that the spring flowers need a clean slate to grow. Read that last bit again - the spring flowers they really need a clean slate. Their soft new bright green need newly produced soil that's freshly fertilized. They need to extract every little bit of nutrient to grow. To enable them to flourish.

These pots might look boring, dirty - making you feel like shrugging with a whatever-type-of-feeling. But you know what? That's just a first - cognitive-psychologically challenged - glance.

Can't you see it? The after-shot to this before-shot. The after-shot. In april-may when the bulbs sprout, become a tiny plants, turning into all proud spring flowers - celebrating the start of the new round. Can't you see it?



Now, which version makes you happier? The first line of this post, or the rest of the sentences. Stick with the one side of the coin you prefer, and just really stick with it. Let it be the whole truth. That's what is really there. I promise. Can you see it?
