Last lunch on the road; roadside lunches became to be quite a joy because not only did it alow us to stretch our legs and get some exercise but it allowed us to sit and visually breate in the local atmosphere. You pass things so fast in a car that you never get to drink in the ambient pleasures of a place - the lunch breaks thus became a nice and limitless chance to know an area for more than the landscape. We got to smell the smells, see the sights, feel the soil, taste the air and discuss our mindful thoughts in the open air of Anywhere Canada.
Another shot of our last roadside lunch.
The third, and last, roadside lunch picture here. It was tempered with thoughts of 'getting there' and unknown expectations, but it still maintained a relaxing way to witness the world. Amazing how much you can take away from such a simple expense as stopping for a meal. Amazing...if only we could always take away such prominent feelings and understandings, maybe we could see our place in nature. Well within the plasmatic confines of life, of nature, but certainly nowhere near the top echelon - leave it to religion to describe an existance that is fake. Leave it to them...
Finally there. Here. Home. For now.
Well, dear reader and those who accidentally stumbled upon this site foro some un-apparent reason but decided to follow it through to this point, this is it. I am now here in Prince George, British Columbia. It took us a while to find a place to rest our wearily restive bones, but did come upon a wonderful lady with a greatly under recognized place to rent. So now we have a house, are set in our lives here, and are living a life desired to live. Prince GEorge will not be the ending stop on the lifelong adventure, it will only be a pause and a point when looked back upon. However, for now it is what it is, and it is home and it is life and it was worth the trip and the change. We have been able to explore a little bit of the area, from Smithers in the west, to Jasper in the South, to Fort St. James in the north...not really 'north', but more north than us at the moment. Prince George has opportunities extant nowhere else that I have lived so far, limitations, yes, but oportunities that are to be explored and enjoyed wiht the rest of the meal of life. Diving in rather than sideline gazing is needed, and if only a little effort is needed to explore a new facet of life then consider yourself lucky; the toil of life can be functionally amassed and considered not at all toil, but trial, and a trial can always be overcome with effort, acceptance and adventure. There is more to do in life than any of us will ever do, so why resist the urge to explore, why remain restive in our thoughts and our experiences - explore, educate and help others as much as you can along the way and it will be a toil, a trial, well spent. There is enough life out there to kep us all busy, so turn off your television, avoid church, read a book, get in a discussion, share ideas, share thoughts, make a change, force change, make life what you want. Or at very least do your best to make it so, that is all we can do.
You are more than welcome to visit. I await you...so do the pulp mills and mountians.
