Intrigue

I walked by a body of water today, close to the edge so that as I walked the frogs that had been sunning themselves on the shore would leap, flinging themselves, toward the water. Some would make it in one leap, and others, the amateurs, would occasionally bounce off the rocks that were partially submerged in the water. Their legs go over their head and their landing consisted of a sometimes upside down, always awkward splash. Seeing them go through such desperate measures to get away from me was somewhat disturbing, so I tried sneaking up on them. No matter how quiet I was, or how slow I was, darn those frogs, they would always see me.

People have mentioned (in a complaining sort of way) that I haven't been blogging very much recently, and it seems as though they may be in luck. I have felt like doing a little more blogging these days. Could this be because I feel sorry for them? Probably not. Is it because I have more time? Maybe. Have I felt more thoughtful recently? Who knows. Maybe it's because my fingers are itchy.

Things are a little different now at Boundless. We're down to the core - there is just seven of us now that the summer session is over. It's a tight-knit group and it's fun as well as challenging to work together so closely. We just finished a trip. A good trip. I organized a short canoe trip, which means that means thinking of everything that is necessary, and making it happen. This can be rather difficult when it also involves trying to motivate/entertain/get everybody together to do things together. But I survived, and even though I feel stretched, I think it was my favourite trip yet. Just to watch the change as youth who have had nowhere to turn and no one to love them open up and become like little kids in a safe environment where they could just be themselves. It was beautiful. I'm pretty sure that my trippers enjoyed it too.

stay tuned, more to come.

coming soon

I just wanted to let everyone know that I will soon be purchasing the beloved piece of machinery that is pictured here.
