Yesterday we went on an adventure to Carmannah-Walbran Provincial Park... so good...
2% of BC's remaining old growth forest is this park.. out of the way, green, good, glorious..

Such a good place.. next time I want to spend more time ;)

in other news.. finals time for term 6.... soon the Xmas break.. and then one more term before I graduate from college... getting there.. slowly but surely.. and it feels fast looking back ;)

And so must I.. ;)
October.. almost done.. term 6 well underway.. term 7 all that remains between here and being done school. So close.. so very close. ;) Perhaps this is the last time I see the leaves turn in Victoria.. make the most of it.. and enjoy the colours and the times.. for they are fleet and passing.

Don't Get Down

Stand Tall... Pursue your purpose ;)

Summer draws to an end.. and Term 6 is just around the corner.. I look forward to being done school sometime and having time to write and ponder in such ways once again.. but that time is not yet ;) LOL So now I will go and enjoy this next term.. the only Term 6 I shall probably ever experience.. and appreciate the friends and fellows who surround me and this season. :)

I had a 2 week break off from school..
I saw many friends, and made a couple more..
It was a time of rest and enjoyment, of action and sleep..
I came back to the coastline I knew, saw the mountain that had watched over me once..
Change is inevitable. Process procedes.
Mountains just generally do it a hell of a lot slower then us.

Yep, it's finals time. Which means zanyness.. procrastination.. creativity.. and it's well past time to start studying again ;)

Catch you all on the flip side. By the end of this week, term 4 will be over and term 5 soon to arrive. :)

It's Been A Long Time Coming

I've only written in my journal 3 times since last October. Crazy! Here is the third thing written since then, written March 10th(ish) :) I try ;) LOL

March 10, 2008

we share our demons they are our saints
stumbling forward we hesitate
fall then rise our phoenix fate
learnings good but the pain ain't great

bitter humour's laughter sweet
people's passings avoidance greet
giants roam beneath these streets
in their beds the children sleep

dischords ringing harmony
in the humourous tragedy
of our distant proximity.
oh the pious heresy

we share our demons they are our saints
stumbling forward we hesitate
fall then rise our phoenix fate
learnings good but the pain ain't great

Sometimes it just feels like you're putting your head down and everything is passing by. School, work, school, work, lather, rinse, repeat.

Minutes become hours which fill up days and time fooshes by. Foosh.. foosh.

Little things become big... big things fall down and go boom. Boom.. boom.

Life spirals around on it's journey underwards. And up.

Seems to me to be the way of it.
