โรok sicakโ is the new โHelloโ these days, with summer going strong, even hitting 53ยฐC . So thankful we found a summer school for the little one, to keep her mind off the heat and still have outdoor playtime in the shade.
Life in four seasons takes getting used to, especially on days of extreme weather like today. The passing of time is more felt too, as opposed to the endless summers of the tropics. Thereโs a hurriedness in the background, like an everyday ticktocking.๏ธ Itโs both a constraint, something that limits what can be done โwhile the sun is outโ, and also a movement, something that pushes you forward, even when youโre not ready.
Itโs definitely an interesting feeling, perhaps a great recipe for creating: you get excited with all the changes in natureโso many new things happening all around, if you pay attention! And you also get the pressure of deadlinesโif you wait around, the moment will pass and you miss out.
Iโm thankful to experience this for the first time in the Mediterranean, where the culture prioritizes balance and taking oneโs time.
On Yellow Day mornings when the house is quiet and the birds sing their songs, letโs remember to just take it all in and roll with the moment, especially when things get extreme. Thereโs a gift somewhere there, thatโs allowing us to push and create.
