Deep snow
Yesterday I went for a delightful walk with Mike A. in the snow, we managed to get to the river, raging with a fast current at near peak levels. The snow deep and powdery the Island Park bridge like a dragon. Fortunately for me he went first most of the way which made getting through easier, he has much longer legs though! He was a real trooper. We found the most magnificient tree, which i climbed! Hmm! It was a lovely time.
Today, my ride to Judo was cancelled due to the weather. So Ersin and I decided to jog in the snow instead. Magnificient! I made it home totally drenched in sweat and completely refreshed. The route behind parliament is just fantastic and we had the space entirely to ourselves, our thoughts and the conversation. We discovered excellent echos by the locks near the Canal and the Chateau Laurier.
I need to get out more and leave my desk. Everytime i serendipitously just go out wonderful things happen. I meet people, i think clearly, i see stuff, i discover new places, and well i just am. So I am leaving the webworld for a while to go out and roam the city a bit more, investigate my own thoughts a bit more, dive in.
My conversations are getting stunted a bit, and I am far to connected to media streams and not enough to the people around me. Mostly cuz they are not around during the day, so i peruse the news comfortably from my cozy office. But it is time for some discomfort and to explore. I also need to get ready for some real school work which i think i will really get into again after a 3 month hiatus. I also thoroughly enjoyed the last two posts (1) (2) I just read for the year and I think that is just a fine way to start, at the beginning of the end!
See you all in the New Rat Year, Maybe!
