September... I remember


"Cultivating Happiness" was fascinating. It was clear and simple. We don't need to expend great energy and effort at cultivating happiness. We just need to be happy. Happiness is habit-forming, and the more we do it the better we get at doing it some more. We are already on the right path.

Flying from autumn to summer and back again is always such a strange sensation, like travelling in a time machine. It's time to savour the season, for autumn here is fleeting and fast. The crispness in the air gives quickly way to frost and glitter - but for now, for as many days as we can hold on to it... autumn.

I think you would like this book: Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life by Thich Nhat Hanh a Vietnamese Buddhist monk. My mother introduced it to me ages ago. It is a very special book.
