A Fly On A Wall

It's good to take a moment to look back at all that has happened over the course of the day, the week, the last 5 years. Collecting your thoughts, coming to terms with occurrences, planning your next steps. These processes require a certain level of serenity. What usually helps is a quiet location. This doesn't necessarily mean a space with no sound, like an empty room with white walls. It could be a city street, a crowded restaurant, or a zen garden.
The air smells a lot cleaner and sweeter out here. The sun shines brighter. Its rays reflect off the surrounding land. It as if everything around me is magnified. You can really appreciate the raw details of the earth on such a fine day as this one. The clear blue sky topping of what most would call a perfect day. A slight breeze now and again reminds me that it is still February. I put my gloves back on as it is almost time. I hear the groaning of the cables. The feint sound of conversation in the distance. The feeling of excitement in the air. Its almost time. I grab my poles, and prepare for the dismount onto the fresh snow. Man, I love skiing!
The mind works in amazing ways. Your imagination can end wherever you want it to. Letting your mind run free is a great ability we are blessed with. Memories and experiences contribute to gaining familiarity. I went skiing two weeks ago, and now I am sitting in a bus on my way home from work. My mind makes it possible to fly down that mountain right now. Public transportation always offers a unique experience!
