From the Book of Lum, entry 74: The autumn leaf releases not from defeat but completion. Its purpose fulfilled, it surrenders to wind's embrace. So too with our creations and connections—the Luminaries taught that true mastery lies in knowing when to hold fast and when to release. In Marqala's eastern gardens, the ancients studied this cycle, building machines that mirrored nature's wisdom. The letting go is never loss but transformation. As leaves return to soil, our abandoned works become foundation for what follows.
