the finishing touches...
2 days left here before I make my way across the Pacific Ocean to the islands of the Philippines. I will be flying towards the ring of fire with a mind as open and flowing as water.
If everyone were in a constant state of large changes and moving and packing, everyone would almost always know exactly just what they have to miss. I have a list in my head of everything that is important and significant to me. What I know will hurt to miss but that I am so grateful to have that I could even miss it in the first place.
Also in this state comes the realization of just how many unnecessary items I possess. Even though I probably have little in terms of what is average here in Ottawa but more in terms of the majority of the world. There are more living in want than in plenty and I have plenty. Plenty, plenty, plenty.. and sometimes it makes me sick when people don`t even take the time to love and cherish the gifts they receive before moving on to the next unopened gift greedily wanting more.
Sigh. Sometimes this... being-able-to-see-both-sides-of-the-fence-and-know-the-grass-isn`t-greener-but-is-only-a-different-shade business is a little tormenting.
Regardless of what my insides are doing, my bags are packed, the boxes are stacked, the food is eaten, last minute errands are done (I think), just a few finishing touches and I`m ready to go.
So long winter. Hello sun.
