The title: a play on words with foliage and memories.
The description: "nirmana" is Sanskrit for "creation". "Samsara" is Sanskrit for "rebirth/world".

Initial Idea Approach Notes:

"I used to feel nostalgic during this time of year. Now I don't feel nostalgic about anything. As if I was freed from the prison of the past. Being nostalgic was painful, but now...I feel liberation through isolation.

I want to fall into something. I want to dive into something. Whatever feeling I'm feeling, I'm leaning into it. No, I'm diving into it!

I also feel excited, not about the past but about the future. Fall is when I created my favorite memories. But I don't care for memories anymore. I live for moments. The Temporary is Infinite.

I want to make more moments and fewer memories.

Big things happen in the Fall. Transformation happens.

It's starting to quiet, but I still want to keep the energy and strength. Gentle, but strong. The world is slowing down again. We are going back to our nests."
