Westbound and floating

How to write about your life without letting the ego get in the way... A summary of events is always an easy way, however the assumption is always there that the individual on the other end wants to read it.  So I offer this entry to those who would like to read on, insight into the last 6 or 7 months that I have been away from the blogging world...

It occurs to me that it would be much easier to write what's on my mind if I did it in smaller chunks... Not quite what happened here. Anyways, there's been a few themes surfacing in the last month or two, with my summer job winding down, and actually having some free time to do some biking and reflecting and reading and relaxing.

It's really easy to get wound up on anything that doesn't quite agree with your wavelength, however if one actually takes a step back, you might realize that the other person is simply in need of some space or a new perspective. It has the power to transform someone completely, and I feel like I've been working really hard at gaining that perspective lately...

Changing times

I suppose I have been absent in the way of reporting my adventures, state and otherwise to all  the people in my life.  I am taking the time today to do some much needed reflection on the past few months.  Although I've been in touch with most of you, there has been a lot that went unsaid, mostly because I did not know what to say.

Let's start with the obvious question that has been hard for me to answer since I returned to Canada.  How was your trip?  I realize now that the question was impossible to answer because I didn't know the extent to which that experience had changed me.  As I reflect on my findings of the last couple of weeks, it is hard to believe the shift in perspective that I've embraced.
