"Sweetness Follows"
I went for a walk, with my camera. The sun was shining radiantly and the wind was icy cold.
There's not a lot to hunt for in my town, but it was the journey to possible prey that mattered.
After a while the chill subsided and my body adapted to its environment. The lens and I bonded.
We strolled down a railroad track, alongside busy streets. Occasionally we decided to befriend a scenery, steal it to our memory.
We smiled at the thought of sharing this ordinary world, this familiar life, to the outsiders and welcome them across the border that differentiates us.
As human legs numbed and raging discomfort subsided, I felt at peace with myself. The confusion had been trapped into a roll of film, unsettling air had been drawn out by sun stained serenity.
I turned in the two rolls of film and they'll be ready next week. It actually doesn't matter if it turns out looking horrible, I only really went out to stress down.
Funny how the town I've lived in for 20 odd years can look different on each walk.
It's the same old houses, streets and corners – and yet I [re]discover places I've totally missed, ignored or even forgot all about.
The town is small, but it still has some charm left in it... to my eyes, at least ^_^
The hardware store is a fun place to randomly visit. My sister has a thingy that flattens hair, but it needed to be "re-plugged" (since Swedish sockets are different to those American ones) so we went there to see if they could help us out.
It's always interesting to see guys who work with electricity run around, consulting each other "Will this work ? What if we do like this" ^__^;
Now it's time for dinner and I'm so calm, compared to yesterday and this morning.
That makes it sound like I've been feeling awful, which I haven't... not really anyway. For some reason my body is just…. out of order *lol*
I truly appreciate all the loving words and thoughts you guys give me. And if you worry about me, then remember this:
I am a wave ...
upon quiet summer mornings, I stroke the sandy shores affectionately
as the winds grow harsh, I am carried to crash into the rugged cliffs
Fear not for this moving water ...
this powerful creature is harmless, desires only to smoothing the edges
simply let it wallow, give it time to fall back to its harboring chambers
I will be fine ...
for I have been born to a lioness, unchallenged in force and perseverance
countless battles made me strong, hones the footprints I intend to honor
Fear not for this unruly cub ...
these battle scars are worn with pride, marking the splendor of her survival
simply let her roam, give her time to grow into the vast space of land uncharted
Take Care Everyone !
Remember that People and Objects are only as much fun as you make of them ^_^
