The path

The path, some days is hard. In certain situations it is misty, cloudy. And others it is full of brown leaves, as now.

Outside, it is cold. There is no wind. The sun appears shyly between clouds. I put on warm clothes. And go for a walk into the forest.

Have you ever heard the sound of your feet walking on the Autumm leaves? It is a relaxing exercise. I recommend everyone to try it. Close your eyes, smell the forest and concentrate in the sounds: At first, in the distant ones. Then, closer, until you hear your own body.

When trees involve me and light goes throw the branches, I can get transported to other places, to old memories and future events. They all have in common a path, where the leaves have just started to fall, covering with a colorful carpet.
