The ability to be aware of the environment and reflect on it
Being able to have a minimalist mentality helps you develop what I consider to be skills, being more attentive to the environment, not letting meaningless things flood the mind and focusing on the essentials while improving as a person are things that seem small but that lead you to be a more reflective being, who sees lessons where he goes and learns from what he has in front of him.
These days that it has been so hot the trees that I have seen on the roads I have passed by have dried their leaves and have let them fall everywhere, this makes me enjoy a lot when I step on them for the relaxing noise they make when stepped on, but also that I love the color that was on the ground, a perfect combination between yellow brown and orange, something I could enjoy by paying attention.
Beyond that this time was specifically full of yellow leaves on many floors that I have walked on, for me it has been a time of much reflection, of realizing in my inner self and learning something new from what surrounds me. These leaves on the ground giving beauty after he having been detached by the breeze of his life in the branches of the tree, makes me think about the way I chase myself when I went through difficult situations.
As I have clear that the difficult situations I can not avoid them I kept the lesson and of these leaves of even me in my saddest or complicated moments can show the best of me, what is what there are things for which one is prepared in advance, there are things in which we will not face that will overtake our feelings or even our senses, but mentalize that the moment like these are not an excuse to be a bad person, or to try to make others feel bad is something that will be in our mind in the bad moments.
As we feel before even more complicated situation we will not be able to change it but what can be done at that moment is to manage our emotions and the best we can and not let these lead us to lose our color, although it seems super difficult because sometimes everything will be chaotic, the mind, the advance preparation and the desire not to hurt or worsen what we already feel will make us remain beautiful despite having been detached from something we love.
On the other hand I thought of the dry trees without their leaves that make them look so beautiful and I thought of these same difficulties in life that leave us feeling like we are exposed, naked or without that which did us so much good, for example a few years ago when I was still doing the pandemic although already ending it I got sick in a way that was imperceptible to others, but that made me time and somehow very vulnerable without those parts of me that used to please others from my point of view. To put it a little more poetically I lost my beautiful leaves.
And seeing these trees made me think of that specific time in my life when I felt that my branches were exposed and I thought I would always be like this. Of nature and the dactibility of a human being is that this with time changes, you renew and beautiful leaves of a stunningly green color, and even many of these trees give flowers or also bear fruit. In my case time and I see it therapy helped me to recover some of my eyes also to have a lot of new leaves.
Learnings and new ways of seeing life and what surrounds me was what I gained in this process, so in a few words I could say that this time of the year teaches me a lot about resilience, being able to survive unexpected changes, learn from them and develop new qualities, skills or ways of seeing things is part of this process. And being able to be aware of this is something I am very grateful for, I know this is not the last lesson I will learn from nature and it won't be the only one I will learn from trees which are my favorite thing about nature.

It was so nice how you related the trees to when you got sick. That was truly beautiful and I think I also learned something from it. Nature really teaches us more than we even pay attention and this was definitely a good one.
