This helps me view change as a beautiful unfolding, rather than a terrifying process. I’ve always been fascinated with autumn foliage; I’m amazed by how the leaves wither and wilt before falling away... I like to think their fiery golden hues represent the bravery it takes to shed what is no longer needed, without question or doubt.” -Alexandra Elle, After the Rain @alex_elle . . . . This book landed on my doorstep with timing that is otherworldly. I love when dots connect the questions that our hearts have been silently pondering; it is a resound that echoes louder than any audible yes or no. Such is the case with my pre-ordered copy of After the Rain by @alex_elle arriving amidst the literal turning of leaves, with this being a theme seeping into every cylinder including my watercolor sketches from last week. There are other pieces to this picture as well, and all of it lending the needed nudge to press on, without fear, and a peace that comes with the knowing that the blooms are already there, in abundance, in a season yet to come, and that the quiet germinating of bare branches is the restful road between then and now. This is the grace in the grit and I am thankful for every moment and morsel of it. And I am ever thankful for this book, this brave splay of letting go to nourish new life already germinating, this sharing of bare branches and bountiful blooms by @alex_elle in After the Rain. How timely it is, how wondrous, rich and full. 🍁 . . . . Model 45L Vintage Green Fountain Pen @franklinchristoph. VN Pocket co-designed with @franklinchristoph. Watercolors @greenleafblue.
