Things are changing and things are repeating themselves. It's a year since I've started to write this blog and it's autumn again. In fact it's this part of autumn when sunny days are becoming less and every day there are more leaves on the streets and less on the trees. Soon it will be winter. I took out all my winter clothes and made some order in my cupboard. Got rid of some and revalue my garderobe for the cold winter which is a head of us. It's still nice to go out for walks. the air is fresh but not too cold. This picture on the top is still from three weeks ago, and by now, I bet you, it looks completely different. In between I had my birthday and celebrated another year. Always a good time to evaluate where am I standing. Two days ago I prited out my blog and realize I have a book. How nice.
I spoke with my sister on the phone. In israel it's still very hot. In the Israeli news paper they wrote: 'Prepare your umbrellas it's raining this weekend". Here I bought a rain proof poncho so that I can still ride my bike when it's raining. And it's raining a lot. This country is made out of water. Went to walk on the beach today. Love to see the dogs there. So happy. Running after a ball, catching it, running with it in their mouth, splashing in the cold muddy water, tail up in the air waving like crazy. It's good to be a dog. Especially one that is taken out for walks. It's a good reminder to watch these dogs. Pure heaven is right here and now.
So it's Autumn again and the cycle goes again. But it's never the same. It's nice that I can compare. Where was I last autumn, what was I thinking, what I was busy with. Not the same like this year but still was impressed from the same things. The same nature, the same colors of leaves. Still I feel so grateful as I walk by the street, occupied in my mind with something so important that I couldn't remember what it was, and then suddenly, out of the blue, a single leaf on the sidewalk gets my attention and strikes me with it's beauty. So simple and ordinary and yet so special. Brings me right a way to the here and now. I find myself thanking a single leaf, a running happy dog, a playing kid. All those things that bring me back to the moment, reminding me of it's present. So full.
These deep autumn days remind me that winter is behind the corner. That walks in the cold can be really cold. But when I get to the winter - we can talk then.
Meanwhile, an autumn is a moment in between. Winter seems so definite. Autumn and is a transition season. Every moment looks different and you get to witness change in it's happening. I guess that's the power of this season. I get confronted with a simple fact of life: Everything is changing, nothing remains the same, things will pass a way This is nature of all things.
