If you do not understand my meaning, now is a good time for a review. Do explore my previous language guide on the commercialization of autumnal vibes.

Could it be his birthday? Could it be the power of his palette? (Somehow this is very autumn to me.) Here, the new thought piece sits with Mr Rothko and uncovers his work—its appeal and cathartic power—its sense of communion?

Thus, the puzzles this week have you covered.
