Fall has a way of reminding us that letting go isn’t a loss. It’s preparation for something new. The trees don’t resist; they know what needs to fall.
Every year, this season shows us what grace looks like in motion. The branches don’t cling to what’s done growing. They make space for rest, for reflection, for whatever will bloom next.
What if we took our cues from this season?
Maybe what’s ready to fall isn’t dramatic. It could be small—an old thought pattern that no longer fits, a “yes” you’ve been giving out of habit, a pace that served you once but no longer feels kind.
The beauty of fall is that nothing’s wasted. The leaves that drop become nourishment for what’s still to come.
So, as you walk through this season—literally or figuratively—notice what’s ready to release its grip. Don’t rush to fill the empty branches. Just notice the space that opens.
Something new always grows there.
