October brings a noticeable shift in the atmosphere. The days grow shorter, the light changes, and the natural world adjusts to a new season. It’s a fitting time to consider what we see, what we assume, and what we know to be true beneath the surface of our everyday experiences. Traditionally, October has been associated […]
