AUTUMN
Reflection & Gratitude
Breast cancer can leave marks that are both visible and unseen. We may emerge changed: more aware of our vulnerability, but also of our strength. Things that once seemed important may fall away, while relationships, time, health and the simplest moments of ordinary life take on new meaning.
The earthy palette of warm ochres, muted greens, gentle greys and autumnal tones reflects this quieter season.
Like a tree releasing its leaves, Autumn speaks of letting go, of fear where we can, of what no longer serves us, and perhaps even of the person we were before the journey began.
What remains is gratitude.
Not because every part of the journey was good, but because life itself has become more precious.
Let what must fall, fall.
Keep the love.
Keep the lessons.
Keep the hands that held yours,
and the days you were given.
Look back gently.
Then turn towards tomorrow
with gratitude.
To still be here is something worth celebrating.
The small red flag in each painting is a quiet mark of the fire that sparked the courage to begin again.
