Musing

+8C, sunny, light breeze
. . .
walking around the ‘new’ lake, a.k.a. storm water retention ponds across the road I can see the water is receding a little – a warm rainless day or two would be helpful as the city starts recovering from floods that still leave people in low areas flooded
. . .
I had dinner & a great visit with my dad yesterday + calls from my daughters yesterday; all is well with everyone . . . a perfect fathers day
. . .
water – something this city is partly floating in can be a destructive force, a beautiful force while at the same time being a sculpting tool, a nurturing treasured resource
. . .
water rationing – a new reality as water treatment facilities are taxed to the max; as our woes abate under sunshine the downstream benefits for points east will be soggy ones & worse
. . .
I have a list, I have a pile – plus a bunch of diarized calls, plus a schedule of meetings plus a mental list of ‘should do’s’ not unlike any other busy week’s beginning
. . .
within the list & the pile & the bunches there will be drudgery, fatigue, failure, frustration & time wasting exercises, but
. . .
there will be more
. . .
there will be nuggets, gems & great things
. . .
there will be seeds & kernels which need cultivating, nurturing & water
. . .
just as floods wash away stuff to expose buried stuff, a cleansing purge of a list & a pile can expose those nuggets & gems
. . .
wash away some things to see what you can reveal
. . .
