Autoethnographic notes from the beginning of October
Something that I've been contemplating so much these days is that there are so many things that don't depend on us. I've been ill for some days. I try to take good care of my body, the home of my soul, but at times I, like any other human being, meet a Virus or Bacteria on my life's path. It's interesting to observe how the body takes its own time to heal. How other things such as consumption don't matter when one is ill. How tiny microorganisms and viruses reveal the effects they can have on one's body. I am reminded that I co-exist in this world with so many diverse fellow beings.
To heal, I walk whenever I can. Recently I went to visit Vestre Kirkegård here in Copenhagen. To see the rays of the Sun shining through the branches and leaves of trees was a magical, self-transcending experience. I met many squirrels on my walk too. They are so curious and elegant!
To heal, I do simple, everyday activities. My partner and I found a hat in his storage room. It had a small hole developing. He didn't want this hat anymore (he has another one that he likes more), but I decided to fix it and wear it in winter. I invited new, black sewing thread into our home to fix this hat and black textiles that my partner has.
I observe magical sunlight in our apartment. Having very few objects in our space allows the sunlight to travel freely and create wonderful shapes on the walls.
