Morning Drive
I leave my house at 7am now and am on the road for 45 minutes. It’s not a bad drive, I’m not too fond of driving into the sun when it’s not cloudy out, but it happens.
This morning it was cold out. The high for the area was 10 degrees, the low -2. The drive was beutiful. The cold covered the trees in frost, so even the evergreens where white. The sun was blocked by clouds and there was intermitent areas of fog. This only made the world seem all the more magical. I wanted to stop and take pictures, but I didn’t have my camera.
So often I just want to stop and capture what I’m seeing. But I don’t. . . Life seems to move so fast. I either don’t have the time, or I don’t have my camera. I want to have the time. I want to be able to stop and take in the world and not have to worry about being late. I want to be able to simply meander through life. . . There are times when I can and do meander, but I think there are more times when I’m just racing from one spot to the next. I’m going to try and change this. For starters I’m going to start taking my camera with me more often. Just doing that will enable me to stop and take pictures of frost covered trees, for example. And I’m going to start taking walks. Walks that don’t have to lead anywhere. Walks that are walks simply for the sake of walking. And this summer I’m buying a bike. I want to be able to take bike rides. :)
