Autumn Beauty
Sometimes we miss out on beauty because we have very specific expectations about where to find it. We see impossibly bright fall foliage on Instagram and think, “I need to find that place. That is where true beauty lies.” Yet today, I found beauty sitting in a Barnes and Nobel on a grey, drizzly day. The café windows look out unot the parking lot and above the clumps of cars and the local Lowes are hills dusted with pale green, yellow and red trees. Above the trees stretched a grey sky. It was beautiful, faded like an antique painting tucked away behind racks at a thrift store.
