【Early（Autumn）】The air carries a subtle shift, as if the world is holding its breath between the warmth of summer and the chill of winter. This is Early Autumn—a time when the days begin to shorten, but the sun still lingers in the sky, casting golden light over everything it touches. It’s a season of quiet transformation, where nature prepares for rest without rushing into it.

In the mornings, there's a crispness that wasn't there before. The trees, once vibrant with green, now show hints of amber and red, like whispers of change. Leaves fall gently, brushing the ground in soft rustles, each one a small farewell to the season that came before. The scent of earth and woodsmoke begins to weave through the air, a reminder that something new is on the horizon.

People, too, feel this shift. There's a slower pace, a more reflective mood. Evenings stretch longer, and the urge to gather with loved ones grows stronger. A cup of warm tea, a cozy blanket, or a walk through the woods becomes more than just an activity—it becomes a ritual of comfort and connection.

Yet, Early Autumn is not about sadness or endings. It's about balance. The beauty of this time lies in its impermanence. It reminds us that nothing stays the same, and that change is not always bad. It’s a gentle nudge to appreciate what we have while preparing for what’s coming next.

So take a moment to notice the little things: the way the light falls on your window, the sound of wind through the trees, the first chill that makes you pull your coat tighter. These are the moments that make Early Autumn special—not because it’s the beginning of something grand, but because it’s the quiet, steady step toward something new.
