Noticing change in the air

If you are an early riser, you must have already noticed a quiet change in the air. It's cooler in the mornings. There is that extra smack of freshness in approaching autumn. Daylight will start growing shorter, slowly. Nights will get longer, again, slowly. Trees once chlorophyll green are now readying to explode into beautiful hues of gold, red and orange. This is beauty that brings unalloyed pleasure the moment you look out of your balcony or window.

Seasonal changes serve as a reminder of the impermanence and interconnectedness of all living things, offering valuable lessons and insights. They also break the monotone, even of city life, with a new 'show'.

Autumn is a season of transition. While it is a season of festivities and merrymaking, it is also a stepping stone for winter, the season of stillness, introspection and rest. Each season brings unique lessons and meaning, encouraging us to embrace change, find balance and appreciate life.


As we observe the cycle of seasons, we are reminded of our place in the natural world and the interconnectedness of all, emphasising the importance of caring for our planet and each other. This brings us a palpable peace.
