“Sitting here thinking of that first chilly day of fall. Waking up and being able to put on a cozy oversized sweater and sweats. Starting the morning with pumpkin coffee and apple cider donuts. Opening the windows and filling the house with a mixture of fresh autumn air and pumpkin spice candles.”
Have a beautiful fall, an abundant harvest, and a wonderful October! May you also have a merry and blessed Mabon, my friends!
When reading, we don’t fall in love with the characters’ appearance. We fall in love with their words, their thoughts, and their hearts. We fall in love with their souls.

“It’s like autumn arriving. You expect nothing from its arrival. You expect everything.”
— Alejandra Pizarnik, from ‘Extracting the Stone of Madness’, Extracting the Stone of Madness: Poems 1962-1972 (trans. Yvette Siegert)
“I can never fight for myself, but, for others, I can kill.”
— Emilie Autumn, The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls
“Her eyes were no violet, after all- they were amber. They were the color of candied ginger or a slice of cinnamon cake. Faded paper, polished leather, a brandied apricot. Orange-peel tea. I considered them, imagining the letters I would write to her. Pipe tobacco, perhaps. A honey lozenge, an autumn leaf.”
— Timothy Schaffert, The Swan Gondola (via pomegranatetree)
“(…) these dark days of autumn rain Are beautiful as days can be;”
— Robert Frost, from My November Guest in “The Poetry Of Robert Frost: The Collected Poems”
“I notice Autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature.”
— Friedrich Nietzsche (via quotemadness)
