 The last few days and weeks I have been trying to hold on to the dream that autumn would perhaps linger with us a little longer and not let us down quite so quickly. But dreams are dreams, and before you know it, you wake up and the magic of the night is over. Unfortunately, this now seems to be the case with autumn as well. Even though the days have changed quite a bit lately, and the season has often shown its cooler and windy side, I just didn't want to recognize the signs of the times and clung tightly to my hopes and I closed my eyes to reality. But at some point, even an optimist like me can no longer deny it. Exactly what we all have been fearing and trying to suppress is happening now. Instead of autumn, its frosty and sometimes bitter brother is pushing himself into our lives and is now grabbing the reins of action and striving for power. Not that we didn't expect what is going on now and didn't prepare ourselves. Quite the opposite, but deep inside us something is just not ready for winter. Fortunately here in Japan, we still have a few weeks longer than in other areas in the northern hemisphere, so I have been trying to live through this extra time as intensively as I can. Maybe that's why there's so much in me that's resisting letting go and moving on. I would much rather stop the time for a while so that I could enjoy this moment forever. But since I don't refuse to accept reality either, in the end I have to face the inevitable and make the best of the time that lies ahead. Fortunately, I still have the many wonderful memories and impressions that are stored in my head and on my hard drive, which I hope to be able to recall and relive whenever I want. And even if the ongoing situation still makes a lot of things quite stressful, maybe we will all manage to enjoy the remaining weeks and days of this year and allow ourselves to let go. Until the turn of the years, our days will definitely be a bit more colorful, louder and yet also more cheerful and contemplative. No matter what all the people out there have to grumble and complain about! And even if it should get now get a little whiter there outside, I will keep the smile in my face. Actually, as I could witness when I checked myself in the mirror, I am smiling automatically. Cause if I am honest, I think that life is still so wonderful and exciting as ever. And that's how I want it to stay!
