Violins, roses, and a small box of butterflies — three quiet remnants of a life that shaped my own. In this November reflection, I return to the objects left in my care: my mother’s long-silent violin, the fading New Dawn roses on my balcony, and the fragile wings collected more than a century ago. Each holds its own memory, its own season. Together they remind me that beauty does not vanish; it transforms. And in the soft light of November, even silence has something to say.
