i have my own place of zen.
well i think that's the right term.
almost every week, around midnight or 1am i leave my place and talk a walk. i walk to the ottawa river. there i just sit on a rock and just... sit.
behind me the distant sound of cars. at the far left the city lights of gatineau are visible. to the far right some smaller quebec city is visible. i can see a distant plane light up from the distance its trajectory. i sat there for almost thirty minutes. although i can't see downtown ottawa, its lights flare up the western skylight. it creates an artificial sun set.
and tonight, at that moment i realized that there are two kind of people in the world. the first who find this a total waste of time. type A personality. people always on a rush. never happy with their work. people who can't enjoy little things in life like the moonlight. then there are people like me. who enjoy sitting down and witnessing moments like these. who stop in the middle of downtown and see someone intriguing. and for a moment wish they had a glimpse into their lives, their days.
i can barely wait for the river to freeze. i want to walk on it. lay down and just look up at the sky.
everything is great right now. just perfect. but what makes it better is the realization that improvements are still possible. i still have a lot to live through. after all... I'm only twenty.
