This year, for the first time in a long time, I realised that autumn was here. The trees were turning yellow, leaves were littering the ground. Every year before, I used to think that there weren't really seasons anymore, as if the trees lost their leaves overnight.

The problem wasn't autumn itself, but rather my perception of the world. I didn't take the time to observe things, always preoccupied with myself, my problems, my work.

I recently started taking the time to observe things, in connection with my regular meditation practice. I manage to anchor myself in reality by observing nature, my own feelings, my thoughts. Far from the alienation of work, which pushed me, even in my personal life, to always speed up, but also far from the internet and social media, where my past self had forged its own online bubble.

And I feel so good. ✷
