7Autumn

I am picking up muesli at my local grocery store. It always seems to be a difficult choice for me. I have tried all muesli at some point. They all taste different. The difference is not only in the product, but in how I feel about the season. I would pick chocolate over fruits if the weather was cold like winter. I would choose refreshing fruits if it was hot like summer.

Now is autumn. There is the dilemma. If I pick chocolate, I have given up on the summer and rush for the winter. On the other hand, if I pick strawberries, I am hanging on to the summer like to a past love.

My gaze wanders towards the compromise mixture apple-coconut. Rather than putting it into my basket, I keep staring at it, the cereals still it in my hand. I solidify for a moment.

I wake up from this short paralysis when an elderly woman passes me and points to the muesli next to the one I picked: strawberries. “They are the best”, she says.

I give her an uneasy smile, like I know better what I like myself than some stranger. I move away, putting my coconut muesli in the basket.

But what the woman said keeps echoing in my mind. I know that sensation: it was connection. She knew what I truly wanted.

There was no point in fighting it. I go back and exchange coconut for strawberries.
