Autum/Fall in Gothenburg

Well, I could start with that it always rains and is so cold and getting now so early dark but you know what?! Actually we have great weather here, warm wind blowing and only once in a while the rain. Autum in Gothenburg can be fine. But you know what?! Is autum/ fall not the best time of the year? 
The colours are spreading, your steps are faster and you still can eat outside or well you can look out for mushrooms. It is the best time to discover nature as its best again. Go out and not only into little parks. Flee to the woods and smell and listen! Listen and hear that you can hear the silence in nature. Thought around this town Gothenburg- there are a lot of woods and little sees- you don't have to go that far. Just visit the botanical garden and then the saved nature area behind it. 
After driving the car the day before and wonder why so many people seems to like to get killed by a car because they don't even look on the streets and I mean when it is dark you really should, as the most of you aren't actually no sparkling light. But even the bike riders don't seem to care- no light, no looking around , just going on their bike. Not that this is new as I know this from Berlin and many other big towns but I am drifting away now. Those letting them self killed by stupidness is just one of the sad things going on on earth. All those killing by following blind a religion or the media and the politic instead of taking care of their life by - well - your own. Of course those thoughts came up after I went through the wild, the garden, the park. Because nature is such a place to easy show you what life is about. Just look around, the plants, the animals and we as the mankind think, really think, we are better because we have a brain -many don't use by the way. How sad this is, but more sadly those who prefer to stay blind never know. But then, we have a choice because we have a brain. We can choose to live in love. Because nature also does this and see how god it gets. There is no hate and no useless killing. There is no need for negative use of power. Yes some animals eat animals but only when they are hungry. They do not kill just to give you pain or because you are different. Difference is actually needed for a healthy nature. A wood will liv better with hundreds of different kinds of plants and animals. So does a garden. 
But what I also like with a garden, parks and botanical garden is, that you travel through time and space and countries. So many plants come from so many different places and there you see them coexist. And then the silence. How I could easy forget that this is so god for you, is just to remember that when we live our everyday life, we are easy to turn our eyes the wrong way as we have to often learnt from the media, politic and religions. So turn around and breath, sit in the sun, touch the tress and grass and watch the birds fly. 
How wonderful to be in the middle of something like a wilderness and being far away from a town which surrounds this place. I actually felt that I even was not in Sweden. I felt like I was home at my parents wood. That feeling that I could be somewhere on this earth and that it doesn't matter where this place actually is was new. I just felt being in the nature and that's why I tell you to do the same. It is still warm enough and it is so colourful and the shadows play is so nice and you calm down and so you reconnect with the nature, the true nature you are part of.  We are all part of, but we are drifting away to soon, to often. And understanding in the same time how big it is to have a big park in town. It is not just a place to rest, it is to reconnect and the air refreshing machine and it is culture and after all it is a wonder we have the great luck to have. Our grandmothers generation may not did all right but this, they did, because this will keep the chance for us people to survive when the time of real crisis come, because this will remind us before and after how to survive in nature and how we are part of it and that the world, the earth does not need us but we do need the earth.  
If only more people would walk and talk in a park or just walk and watch and be in silence instead of having their focus on the iphone nowadays. What a shame. 
But there is always hope. There is always a chance. There is always a choice. To waken up and reconnect. Like you've seen in so many movies in the last years. 
So, folks, now, the pictures are coming and maybe you want to do the walk in the green.
