"The notion of value depends on our own investment in an object. If an object is to be valuable, we have to invest ourselves in it. There is no better investment than to give one's time, to wait for something. Most often, if one gets a desired object immediately, one's own being is not involved in that object, and the object remains impersonal, exchangeable, dispensable. It has nothing of ourselves in it."

autumn bucket list.
- read. a lot. maybe: Siri Hustvedt, Virginia Woolf, Zadie Smith; definitely: "Autumn" by Ali Smith
- bake. at least 3 times. a birthday cake, a homely bake, an apple pie or tart
- go for walks. often. listen to podcasts or to the leaves crunching under your feet.
- discover new coffeehouses. read or relocate your office.
- listen to my fave "autumn albums", eg. this, this and this one.

"Ich bin nicht Siddhartha, ich bin nur immer wieder auf dem Wege zu ihm [...] Man darf sich nie auf eine gefundene Wahrheit versteifen, auch nicht auf die eines Buches, denn das Suchen kann wohl gelernt werden, das Finden nicht. Aber jeden Augenblick steht dieses Wunder uns offen."
- Hermann Hesse. Brief an Bruno Randusus, ca. 1922
