dispatch from the small tree room
Today is my last day in the room that i affectionately call “the small tree room”. It's a back of of an apartment building with direct access to a pretty courtyard that i could walk around in. Tomorrow i move to a room that's largely unfurnished (but which i have a blank canvas to design as i want). However, i think i'll quite miss the small tree room.
What i've found in the month i've been here is that walking in nature is incredibly healing for me, and it has an incomparable effect on my mood and productivity. i remember that whenever i read about well known musicians and thinkers, they always seem to take walks in forests everyday. now i know how they feel. i've noticed too that for the effect to be most pronounced, i must have IMMEDIATE access to nature, which can be challenging to deal with.
I'll be saying bye to the small tree room for the foreseeable future, but living here has taught me a lot, i'll miss it.
I hope that in half a year or so, i'll find another spot like that.
