Musing

today’s Musing written and published from south Calgary, near Fish Creek Park

walk report: -11C/12F, overcast, fog with a few snow flakes falling; walks melted yesterday so walking was easy – eerie feeling knowing the entire world is bathed in sunshine yet a layer or warm air meeting cold air can keep everything from view, make it hard to get one’s bearings

“Last week the candle factory burned down. Everyone just stood around and sang Happy Birthday.” – Stephen Wright

seeing the butterfly is easy, but looking in the same direction the butterfly is going remains a mystery to be discovered, albeit slowly; seeing what I want, wanting what I see; the fog analogy fits too for that situation when one can see clearly looking forward, another seeing clearly looking back – but not until two people are looking in the same direction can they determine if they see the same things

“Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.” – Jonathan Swift

seeing, having vision – parts of discovery – like bearings we never see in a car, by no means the whole experience but an incredibly important part of enjoying a smooth ride; bearing gifts, bearing burdens . .

I may lose my way but certainly I’ll not lose my bearings; happy b-day PB
