Renewal

October 02, 2015

Feeling tired at the end of the day, wanting nothing more than to be hugged by my enticingly comfy couch, but knowing that would only make me feel sluggish, I decided to go for a short stroll on the hill to revive. A walk, of course, means packing my Brikon, and at the thought I very nearly caved into to a sluggish evening. But then I had a most remarkable insight: of course! a walk could be solely a walk without a camera! And suddenly the glamour of sluggishness vaporised and soon I found myself wandering through new post-fire spring growth, energised and inspired to create images to share what was delighting me, grateful for the compact convenience of my Camsung that I had in pocket, but wishing the large lens properties of my Brikon could be converted to something small and lightly un-brick-like. One day...

I left just after sunset, thoroughly invigorated and enjoyed a good book, hugged by my couch for the rest of the evening, sans any feelings of sluggishness.

So, the moral of my story today is: when feeling sluggish, move. In nature. Walk in your garden, the beach, a park, or just around the block, watching the teeny-tiny teeming life pushing through the cracks...
