This post could maybe be categorized in the too-much-information realm, BUT:
I’m feeling a lot right now. In fact, I’m feeling more than I probably thought I was capable of not so long ago.
If you’ve ever seen Big Fish, the whole movie is a giant metaphor related to the pursuit of an uncachable fish.
Not to be too cryptic as I write, I’m after an uncatchable fish right now. It’s exhilirating, exhausting, fun, sad, sweet, amazing, awful… a lot.
(hmmm… time to watch it again, maybe?!)
Right now my toolkit, for figuring this all out, is comprised of the Calgary Public Library and my iTunes. First at bat are K.D. Lang [should I be embarassed? haha, her Hymns of the 49th Parallel, right now is on constant repeat] and Thich Nhat Hanh [It has been WAY too long since I’ve taken on a new one from him].
Knowing myself, next at bat, will be a movie or nine.
Wherever the topic comes up, everyone seems to completely understand (or at least try to) which has been great. The roommate has right from the beginning, but even further in from there… so have my [incredible!] friends. A cheering section is never bad. Urban communion, never is either, whether it’s Ming itself or the chosen company, I almost always walk away from that place a little more confident in my adventuring.
This weekend will have to be some University Distraction Therapy. It will also have to involve a few venturings into the deeper downtown.
…until then.
…the waiting place… and a research experiment in and of itself, how much connectivity can our modern technologies really truly provide?
I’m feeling a lot right now.
