Sitting on the veranda smoking is always a calming time for me
Surrounded by silence apart from the odd car going by on a road that's so near and yet seems so far.
The two Canada Geese were back again tonight. I just knew it was the same two but have no way of explaining HOW I knew. I was closer to them than ever before but they acted like they didn't have a care in the world.
I wish I could say that about me, but I can't. Everything around me seems to be shifting and changing. Even the trees have started springing fresh green leaves - starting a new life cycle almost overnight. Or have I just been too preoccupied to notice? The snow has melted revealing grass in a deep green colour that hasn't seen the sun since December. The ice is starting to leave the lake, melting as the temperatures rise and the sun beats down.
The park is quiet right now - but soon it will come alive as people come to spend a day outdoors in the sun with Family and Friends. I could be part of that scene, I WANT to be - so why do I feel so detached from whats going on around me? Is it because I don't like change? Or is it because I can sense an undercurrent, like the calm before the storm?
Thanks
Dawn.
