Seasonal Storms - Autumn Downpours - The Change

Life is cyclical, no matter what we do to avoid it, change will always come. Just as storms are often frowned upon, most view change the same way. If you sit back and take the time to appreciate it, there's so much potential beauty in change. After nature has stood vibrant and radiant, it too will change. Spring is full of anticipation and excitement for what is soon to come, it's showers come to provide the nutrients necessary to begin growth. Summer turns the excitement into a reality that can be experienced. It's rain nourishes the seeds and nutrients provided by spring. The Autumn change, is almost like the exhale of nature. The strong but calm colors, the temperature slowly decreases. It's a time to take stock of what was. To appreciate the memories created in the previous seasons and begin the process of putting things away for we know that winter is the season of silence. It's a time to make way for the new anticipation of the coming spring.An Autumn Downpour comes to wash away those things that have yet to take hold and solidify their place. To remove those items weakened by the previous storms. Those things that last, show how much resiliency and resolve they've built, they refuse to be moved. There's always growth in change but sometimes things grow apart. Something we thought would last a lifetime, unfortunately, will only last a season. Jaron and Makayla now find themselves at this very space in their season together. Is it time now for them to grow apart or have they built a strong enough foundation to weather the coming storm.
