The blog will pick a word of the week, to share & explore the selected word. Here’s an expression for the word – surprise.
Modern life is scheduled & climate-controlled. We spend more time indoors, less attuned to the subtle environmental cues. When autumn finally asserts itself, a crisp morning or a burst of colour, it feels really surprising. Autumn carries a symbolic weight – transition, reflection, transience & nostalgia. The sudden arrival of such complex emotions feels like a surprise.
The atmosphere suddenly shifts. The smell of falling leaves, the way the light glows differently, triggers feelings of wonder & awe. The unpredictability of autumn amplifies the surprise. The season turns surreal, suddenly we stand in the midst of its beauty & brilliance.
