This is so very beautiful, Umair. THANK YOU :)

Yes, I most definitely feel all the things you describe.

"A wounded soul" indeed, yes YES.

I am trying to seek solace and comfort in nature, my friends, animals...all the things that actually make life WORTH living. It's all we have right now, really.

I feel bruised and battered and both my soul AND my heart feel it, too. Time to rest and restore.

Embrace Autumanal Reflections.
