Thoughts from London (Day One, Part Two)

Sleep last night was a bit disjointed. Going to bed early meant getting woken up a couple of times by people chatting as they returned to go to bed.  It also meant dealing with the humidity that comes from breathing in an enclosed space before the room outside your curtained bunk has time to cool off completely.

I was up at 2 am recording more snippets of memories: the prevalence of support for local and/or organic food, how nice it was to see an entire aisle of eggs sitting on shelves instead of in giant coolers, rapeseed oil in all of the ingredient lists instead if canola, and the dark wood and orange linens of the hostel contrasting with their space age-esque bathrooms.

The list continued to grow throughout the day, with Red Box as an office supply company, the grass on the side of the road is tall and yellow, cows grazing in meadows in astonishing numbers, trash cans are labeled "rubbish" and called dust bins, "Greens" are filled with cobblestone not grass, Bakerloo is a thing that exists, and it's legally required that you wear a seatbelt on the bus.

Teaser Tuesday - April 14th

"My mother would never let the hearth die in her home," Margret said. She felt Agnes turn to look at her, but didn't meet her gaze. "She believed that as long as a light burned in the house, the Devil couldn't get in. Not even during the witching hour." Agnes was quiet. "What do you believe?" she asked eventually. Margret extended her hands towards the flames. "I think a fire is a useful thing to keep a body warm," she said. - Burial Rites by Hannah Kent Teaser Tuesday is  hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading .

Teaser Tuesday - July 29th

Lack of perspective in literature (or in readers) often causes a contemporary condition I've heard referred to as "presentism"; that is, a disposition to judge all literature by the narrow standards of present time and present culture.  This leads to the phenomena such as the denunciation of classic novels such as Huckleberry Finn , on grounds that they deal with issues such as slavery, women's civil rights, ect., in a way not consistent with the notion of present-day political correctness. - "Presentism" The Outlandish Companion by Diana Gabaldon Teaser Tuesday is  hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading .

Vancouver 2014: Camping!

Camping is one of those things that's hard to share via picture, moving or still.  It's so much about the experience, the stars overhead, the springy soft ground underfoot, the wind on your face, that first pure hint of morning light, meals cooked by fire and ember. Sure there are the stories you tell, the ones around the campfire and down at the lake, and the ones you tell after, but it's not the same.  Stories can conjure memories and emotions but they can't make the sun shine or moths fall from overhead lights.  Okay, maybe the last one, moths are sneaky, but the rest, these personal moments and experiences, they're a lot harder to convey.  I'll leave it at I had an absolutely amazing time, despite the lack of nonrock based floors and comfortable chairs, I would have turned right around and done it again.  The lack of technology was restful and the presence of that much nature was restorative.  We mostly relaxed but I did get to see some amazing sights...
