Arrival of the birds

Autumn is a season of pure transition, when heavy leaves shift to shades of yellow, orange and red before drifting down to rest at our feet, leaving branches bare for a time of renewal. It’s a quiet invitation to pause and reflect—to shed old layers of thought and feeling and make space for what’s to come. Autumn reminds us that change is never final but part of an ongoing cycle: moments of beauty fade only to give way to fresh beginnings.

Arrival of the Birds

Along a winding wooden path that leads into the heart of the woods stands a solitary bench, quietly offering a place to stop and breathe. Nearby, a young tree burns in vibrant orange, as if unseen birds have alighted on its branches to ignite one last celebration of color. The bench becomes our meeting point with ourselves—a moment to release past stories and open our hearts to new ones. Arrival of the Birds captures that serene instant when we learn that even when change leaves us feeling exposed, it also ushers in the brightest possibilities.

“Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.”

— Hermann Hesse
