Sounds of the autumn.

The seasons in Thailand are different from, for example, Europe. Here we have the rainy season and the dry season. The dry season is divided into a cool and a hot period. And that actually brings three istead of four seasons; the rainy season (June-October), the cool dry season (November-February) and the hot dry season (March-May). And yet you can also find spring, summer, autumn and winter in those three.

Yesterday, autumn and the cool dry season, as every day I walked blissfully in the forest again. I try to change tracks many times with Kadhow. Yesterday it was at a place in Chiang Mai that feels great for me. The energy feels wonderful there. The sound of crispy leaves with every step he and I take.

Kadhow stopped and looked around. I followed his lead. Total silence or not. No not at all. A gentle breeze, beautiful colors, tremendous big leaves of teak trees and there was a sound that could be heard like rain in the forest or like a crackling wood fire. Birds singing different melodies in peace and in harmony. It was more than a beautiful meditation to be aware of the sounds of autumn.

The "rain" sound came from the tumbling dry leaves, in the sunlight, falling high from the trees to the bottom of dry predecessors, which formed a sort of drum.
Sounds from far, up close, soft and loud, from all directions around me, high and low tones, melody, harmony, a fantastic free "orchestra" that nature offered me as a kind of meditation.

It was another fantastic moment to enjoy far from a world that is running faster and faster…
