Yesterday I went to visit a friend who lives in the Entrepotdok area. This is one of my favourite streets in Amsterdam, so it was a pleasure to stroll aimlessly for a while, before the meeting, noticing the first signs of autumn. It was the time before sunset, a peaceful and warm atmosphere, and I wasn’t in a hurry. I had a little moment of mindfulness, taking my time to observe the spiders hanging on their webs, the rose hips and the beautiful waxy fruits of a carob tree.
