Imagine looking out your kitchen window while washing your hands

And being captivated by the sun highlighting the tops of the entire treeline in front of you, the colors so vibrant that you have to stop and drink it in.
Close your eyes now, and that vision is yours, please stay with it until it reaches your soul.

we can keep it.

Autumn brings the long nap in much of nature, but I think it's my favorite time of year. The trees are amazing. Some look like they are on fire, while others are solid red, due to turn burgundy in just days. Others are ombre, with color changes more advanced at the ends of branches. This is the time I fall in love with orange, rusty reds, golds, neon yellows, and sporty olive greens. I want to smell fall spices. It's the only time of year I'll drink something like a pumpkin spice latte. I watch football with family and feel gratitude even while I miss passed loved ones.

Two days ago, it made me gasp with its beauty.
“Those colors, that tree — “
“Take a picture” my partner said.
“I want to possess it…wish it were liquid, I want to drink it in…”

The whole world of nature feels that way to me, these days.
And a good share of humanity seems beautiful as well.
