Random thoughts on…..life?
Prepare yourself, because this post promises to be pretty random. I haven’t been able to think of something to write about for a while, so I have finally decided to write about everything. First of all, I’m all done. Well maybe not all done, but I have almost gotten through this week without complete disaster:) I have finished all my big projects (they were really big!) and now I am just bathing in the lassitude. Although exams are fast approaching and there are a few tests to get out of the way before then I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Which brings me to the second order of business, 12 DAYS LEFT! WOOT. Man I can’t wait.
Thirdly, I am really looking forward this Sunday. It will be neat to have a farewell for the Youth group (Sunday morning service) and I am really looking forward to performing a few classical pieces. I haven’t performed classical music for a while and I miss the intenseness of it, the adrenaline that gets pumping when you realize that there is nothing between you and the crowd except a hunk of brass. Which brings me to my fourth point…
Running. Winter is such a lazy time. I honestly think that humans hibernate, just not in the traditional sense. I know that my body and mind shut down to a lower level during teh winter, and it is nice to feel life flooding back into my body again. And I come to my point. I always get really out of shape during the winter and I have recently begun running (my most hated thing) and weights and such. I have always heard of people referring to running as a spiritual experience befor, but thought it was impossible because I was so bad at it. Yesterady for the first time I felt something that I haven’t felt since I quit swimming. The feeling of complete power that s brought by your body versus your mind. It is the ultimate in meditiation if you ask me. Nothing exists except the beating of your heart and teh thoughts in your head. It was an amazing thing that i missed. Music wakens something in me too, a realization of the beauty of life, but this is something primal that allows you to see the innermost parts of yourself.
I guess thats it for now, till later….
Nick.
