Perhaps you are afraid to accept that you are a mortal, that we are here for the season and at any moment we will start the journey on a one-way ticket.
In this short time in which the heart beats, we adapt, that's how wise nature is. Of course, from the very moment we are conceived we set in motion that process that prepares us to leave the mother's womb and later adjust to the environment, to what we eat and drink...
But we are so stubborn that being resilient is not enough. We always want to find the ‘fifth leg of the coin’ and in that we waste valuable time that we could spend enjoying the environment, like for example that nuance of colours that you refer to and that I enjoy every sunset, even in summers, with those greys in the sky.
I can't find a better time to have a coffee. Every sunset and every sunrise and the smell of petricor that where I live enhances everything.
Live dear friend, live your own life, that's the secret.
