Your question Why do I keep hesitating?

The spread

  1. What the season gives Falling Leaf Release without grief. The tree does not negotiate. What to avoid: Letting go of something that still had a season left.
  2. What it takes Quiet Fog Reduced visibility and the usefulness of going slower. What to avoid: Pretending to see clearly in the fog.
  3. What it asks of you First Frost A sharp, clarifying cold. Things become briefly obvious. What to avoid: A hard start read as a bad omen.

The omen is taken from the month itself: the temperature, the light, and the specific tiredness of autumn.

At the centre, Quiet Fog, which describes the autumn impulse to start everything at once.

The closing note is about the light returning, which it always does, on a schedule nobody negotiates.

Ask for the thing plainly, once.
