the child inside

Hard rain is washing away the weekend and in case the water doesn’t work alone rolling thunder is rattling away all traces and after a long blink it will be the first Monday in August.  Close your eyes and open them its Fall, blink again its Winter…close them for a half trip around the sun and you could find yourself on a new continent or with gray hair and grandchildren.  It’s true that time waits for no man…

Last week I got confirmation that a plan I was working on succeeded and, as a result, I will be packing up life in Austria over the course of the next 2 months and moving East.  Next stop:  Hong Kong.  Time is moving so I’m moving with it.  It was not an unexpected result…but it is still taking some time to digest the notion of hitting refresh again.  As this new plot unfolds and the wheels, jet engines and propellers pick up speed I’ll share more.  For this moment we will stay present and not leap ahead…All this mental preparation for the path forward could be one subconscious reason why I spent the weekend regressing.  Cotton candy, circus acts, jungle gyms and bubble gum ice cream.  I was a 33 year old kid this weekend and tried to see this town through the eyes of that child.  Here’s what that looked like…

perhaps you remember my last visit to the circus…or maybe not.  if you feel like seeing the camel butts, sword walkers and trick ponies from yesterday, click here.  the way to and from the circus and around town were also noteworthy, colorful experiences.  here are some favorites

Pastel colors, blue skys…sunshine and many, many miles around town on foot were sprinkled with QT with friends and some very funny kitties.  Tonight I close my eyes early and get ready for a big Big, BIG, B I G week.
