I think today calls for this thread to be bumped. Such a good day. I was productive, but it was still healing time nonetheless.
I spent the majority of the day outdoors. I chopped enough wood to last at least three months. Had an understanding moment with a deer less than 15ft from me. Went for a hike to the stream up the mountain and looked out on the valley. All the stress and damage city life has done to my soul feels mended. This is the first time I've been truly happy in months. Bumpity bump. |

^^ Apparently it's nice up there.
My get away is either going for a drive, writing in my journal, reading a good fiction book or just taking a walk along the beach and hearing the ocean. Sometimes it's nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and I wish at times Ic ould just pack some of my belongings and travel the world... reflect and think about life... but at this moment in time that is not plausible. I'm happy for you Chad, happiness is hard to find and those who hone it are blessed. I went out with my best friend tonight and we just chatted, talked up a storm about life and then ate ice cream... takes the edge off life. |

I remember I used to love chopping wood when I was young. I would sharpen up my families old axe, and go to town and loose myself for awhile. These nights always ended up with me falling asleep in front of a fire. And in those moments a kid could forget about all the bullshit in their life back in the city. :) |

man this totally reminds me of the time when my neighbour was speeding for the ferry in the dark and totally smoked this deer with his truck and we got to make a delicious venison stew, but then he threw the head in our back yard without even telling us.

it happens when it happens for me..
sometimes i'll miss a bus....if i feel like there's something pulling me ..or i'll just do something bizarre..just random....it's all meditation for me, i had this one day ..week actually..that i felt so connected to motion..like i was seeing it all for the first time..the way my hand moved..the sounds..the everything.. It's awesome when the mentality of approaching life as a meditation or not even..just a second to second.. I think imagination vs. reality for me is so splattered amoung trees..that when i see a hubcap..i think some giant has lost his change or something..or a crumpled milk carton...like...if the shapes right y'know..swing kid in a zuit suit.. There are so many days, just the simple things!!...Even just carrying an umbrella and walking in homage to charlie chaplin in the rain.. or the white moth that made silence feel so much more alive..like it was breathing at you. ...I know what you mean though..sometimes i get the same thrill jumping off a cliff into a pool of water...that i do...considering that the strewn paint inside the skytrain trolley things...on the concrete..was actually put there by this group of underground artists..that leap down on the tracks .. or the scuff marks on the floor.. someones hidden masterpiece. ... ....life fucking rules. |
