It's about the journey, isn't it?

Downtime

Taking it easy this week, has not been difficult at all.
I was sitting on the couch reading "A Year in Provence, by Peter Mayle", and listening to CBC's The Signal last night, and the host Laurie Brown read a poem by Sylvia Plath that has stuck with me all day.

"I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited.  "Sylvia Plath

Well now that I have been reading and fiddling for the past couple of hours, I should try and do something productive. So I'll hop on my bike for a bit.
