finally

aight aight, its the return.

and to properly address the official reopening to this ancient and weary blog, it is only proper to begin this new era in the history of these confessed ramblings by reminding you all that during the time of my absence, much has been learned, much has been experienced, much has been gained and much has been lost. but most importantly and notably one thing has remained the same, and it is that insistent task of maintaining my stubborn yet tiring cynical worldview of my critical/intellectual mind.

ah yes, the grass is greener, the trees are mature, the leaves represent the greatest shades of autumn and i am happily enjoying every last lush inch of this magnificent island. the stories of this place are true, the island inhabits a brooding specter that loves the surreal and the magic you once knew as a child begins to resurface. even the moss that grows between the cracks of the sidewalks, and thrives on the rock faces seem enchanted. how lovely it is. i have been blessed with more than i could want, yet this new found freedom must be met with diligence and determination to discover my hearts path. it is all too easy to stray beyond, you could be on one path and then in an instant a distraction would cause you to cross a hedge row only to find yourself in a maze where every turn led you nowhere. it is evident many my age have strayed into the masses of lost children, wandering the streets scraping the concrete for any kind of escapism available. focus and integrity is what is going to get me through the hard and humble beginnings of this new life.

life is more balanced here, both the hemispheres of my mind can exercise thought without bickering too much between the rational and irrational. my heart has a voice hear and its refreshing to know that i am not always being governed by the mind as was the case in Calgary.

i have little wealth but who cares, happiness here doesn't cost a dime
