This month we explore amber, a color that carries autumn's deepest wisdom – and perhaps its most tender comfort. Amber glows with the essence of the year's golden hour – that precious time when nature prepares for rest, displaying its magnificent finale in warm, honeyed tones. Like sap flowing through ancient trees, amber holds both strength and beauty, teaching us to treasure life's quiet moments, even those tinged with loss.
When amber light filters through our spaces – in flickering candles, in leaves turned to living gold, in the warm touch of sunlight on skin – we connect to this season of rest and reflection. Nature teaches us that there is beauty in letting go through its cycles of loss and rebirth. We come to know that healing, like autumn, moves at its own perfect pace.

Read to feel A.OK
to love life, to love it even
when you have no stomach for it
and everything you’ve held dear
crumbles like burnt paper in your hands,
your throat filled with the silt of it.
When grief sits with you, its tropical heat
thickening the air, heavy as water
more fit for gills than lungs;
when grief weights you down like your own flesh
only more of it, an obesity of grief,
you think, How can a body withstand this?
Then you hold life like a face
between your palms, a plain face,
no charming smile, no violet eyes,
and you say, yes, I will take you
I will love you, again.
