Autumn bathes everything in a golden glaze. The crispness of the air is both invigorating and foreboding. We have only a short while to bask in this exhilarating, emblazoned version of our world. The long, dark Winter is nearing and we will once again depend on the embers in our souls, the ones that can only be kept alight by loved ones, to shelter us from Her harsh presence. - Madison Spencer
