The variety of noises around me made it hard to continue sleeping, so I dragged myself out of bed and headed to the kitchen to make a cup of tea. Accompanied by the familiar sound of water being heated to a boil, I started to feel a bit more human. After an intense week of many emotions, I was trying to think of what I could do to make this truly a day of rest, and settle into peace again. Sipping my Earl Grey I soon realized that staying in my flat wasn't it and started to ponder my options. Outside the sky was the clearest of blues, and checking the forecast it seemed that it would not be joined by the ice cold wind which so rapidly can turn the warmth of sun rays into a more freezing experience. I quickly packed a little rucksack for the journey and bundled up, thinking many layers would prepare me for any eventuality. With my journal and snacks safely zipped away I set off, enjoying the fact that although I was headed to catch a train, I had no train to catch.
Life is a journey full of weird and interesting experiences. As the years go by, what was once new and different, has become part of the ordinary and usual. And those things which once brought amazement, no longer catch my attention. So instead of letting the new and exciting fade into nothing, I want to try to capture and keep some of these moments.
