The Autumn Phenomenon

Summer is gone...autumn is coming. At least that is what they say. But what are seasons? Ideally, summer is sunny and warm, autumn is colourful and rainy, winter is cold and icy, and spring means blossoms and flowers. That's what we learned when we were children and that is what many songs are about. 
But what's real? This summer was indeed sunny and warm, but mostly humid. This tropical rainforest climate started in June and lasted until early September. It was mostly unbearable as there was no oxygen in the air. It was suffocating and it was impossible to do outdoor sports. Due to the many mosquitos it was unbearable to sit outside in the evening. 

Now autumn is coming...and with it the oppressive heat is gone. The air feels lighter.  It is still sunny and warm, but much more relaxing. The oxygen has returned and with it the motivation to spend time outside. I feel more alive and closer to nature. Everything feels more natural and real. 

Finally my summer feeling is there. It feels right. 

Pas à pas

Life is a long and complicated path. It can be very frustrating and energy consuming. There may be times when you are so desperate, you don't see the sense of proceeding on your way. At such a point, I always go to a quite place and close my eyes and try not to think of anything. Such moments often reveal some clarity. 
There is no perfect day, no perfect holiday, no perfect job, no perfect relationship and no perfect life. But there are moments that are so important for you that they gild all the other aspects. 
Find those moments and enjoy them to the fullest. If you keep your mind open and take every day as a new start, there will be many of those moments. At the end, everyone can achieve their goals if they don't concentrate on desperation and chaos but on satisfaction and on the wonders of life. 
There is more than you can see, you learn something every day- and it sometimes makes you very happy to share these things or to pass them on to someone.
