Yesterday we went for shopping. It is up to 35 degrees here these days, some days a bit cooler, some even a bit hotter. People already started saying that it is like India. It is beautiful when the wind is blowing and you get a cool breeze.
Ramona wanted to look for a light shirt because we will now go to India where it will be hot and additionally humid. What we found was typically German: there were lots of winter clothes. We hardly found anything for summer and were told that nearly everything is sold out already and they started preparing for winter, so sorry, no, they do not have any more summer things.
This is typically German: they plan really well. It is July, hot, everybody is going on holidays but they obviously start preparations for autumn and winter already. People are planning and thinking ahead. They start buying things for the time when the weather will not be so nice anymore. Unfortunately you will forget to enjoy summer! You cannot be in presence!
Think about it! Even if you need something for the presence, you have difficulties getting it. You may be lucky like Ramona, she found something but if you do not plan at all, you can get in trouble when you suddenly need something thin!
It is just a little reflection but it is deeply rooted in people’s minds and hearts. Of course everybody should think of the future, too, and I think there is nothing wrong with that but don’t worry too much and forget the presence. Organize, think for the future, too, but enjoy the presence, live in presence, too!

haha….truth….but the weather today is like autumn and everybody is buying warm clothes
Hahaha, I love this! Planning for the future can often be done unconsciously, or because you are living in a future (which only exists in your mind). It can also be done mindfully. You can make plans and be very present at the same time.
I have the same problem in the US when I try to buy bathing suits in July. Perfect time to buy one, but should have bought one in March.
I always thought places like Europe must have come out of the water a few thousand years after desert places like the middle east and India.
