When life gets really noisy
December 18th, 2006 by Bill
In an article called, “Sarah Slean attends the school of life,” there is a pretty good explanation of why I moved from the west to the east (when everyone else is going east to west):
“It never ever goes away,” Slean says of that sense of wonderment. “People just sort of tune it out. I think that’s why I tend to wrench myself out of my comfort zone and go to Paris, or go to a cabin in the woods, or whatever, so that I can hear it again. It’s always in there, but sometimes life gets really noisy around you and you get lazy and you can’t hear it. By jumping out of the rhythm that you’re in and going elsewhere into utter ignorance, you can hear it again.”
And that’s kind of why I’m now in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
(btw … I’m negotiating a house right now. Hopefully I’ll know today or tomorrow whether I’ll get it or not.)
