A Beautiful Afternoon

I look outside and see sunlit green leaves silhouetted against a beautiful blue summer sky.
They drift gently in the breeze, just beyond the window.
And as they move, a quiet loneliness washes over me.

It’s a beautiful afternoon, still, full of light and feeling.
One of those lazy Sundays that makes one pause…
And I find myself grateful just to be alive.

But there’s something else.
Something shifting, just beneath the surface.

Change is in the air.
And once we cross that certain threshold
there may be no turning back.

Have we already passed it?
