October's Thought: Creating an ecosystem of ideas

It's autumn again. The autumn wind whispers, and the maple leaves fall.

A seasonal change of colours, inspires the changes in the mind. Some would say it's a paradigm shift, I would call it an 'accidental autumnal thought'

You know, the beginning of the term of a final year, when everything is not as hectic yet, and you begin to imagine how to do more things with the limited time you have.

Like how you throw a boomerang near the Ayers Rock in Australia 4 years ago, it's time to get the boomerang back and throw it again to other places, before the final year ends. 

This time, the boomerang wants to wander more, before it goes back to where it used to be.

It has been quite while, you thought. There wasn't any new experience or ideas to write. 

The writing has been dull. How I wish I could find back the oasis of ideas. Therefore, I started to pick up activities which observe the beauty of things.

Like photography and acrylic painting, the two activities which teach you how to find the beauty in something, and capture it. 

Or, try to colour some imagination and creativity on it. The core idea is to make something beautiful. And, I think most of the times, we forget to find the beauty of something, in our daily lives. 

Well, I hope that those 2 activities will help to fuel my writing, and keep me going with more interesting stuff to write.
