I think I write a post every year welcoming autumn. Without a doubt, autumn is a beautiful and much-loved season. Colours, scents, the cool air, a slower pace… In my view, autumn suggests a slowing down of life. After the dry, scorching summer we’ve endured in many parts of the world, that longing for autumn

One cannot help but feel overcome by a deep sadness at the grave threat looming over the Earth. There was a time when novels were published and films were made in which
